Among other discoveries, he formulated the Dirac equation in 1928, which describes the behaviour of fermions and predicted the existence of antimatter, [14] which is one of the most important equations in physics, [8] and is regarded by some physicists as the "real seed of modern physics". [15] He wrote a famous paper in 1931, [16] which ...
