The fundamental laws necessary for the mathematical treatment of a large part of physics and the whole of chemistry are thus completely known, and the difficulty lies only in the fact that application of these laws leads to equations that are too complex to be solved.

" He also did work that forms the basis of modern attempts to reconcile general relativity with quantum mechanics. This work does not refer to any other writings then available on quantum mechanics. While lecturing later in life Dirac always insisted on calling the former "Fermi statistics".

Dirac shared the Nobel Prize in Physics for 1933 with Erwin Schrödinger "for the discovery of new productive forms of atomic theory. " He also did work that forms the basis of modern attempts to reconcile general relativity with quantum mechanics. : /dɪˈræk/ di-RAK; 8 August 1902 – 20 October 1984) was an English theoretical physicist who made fundamental contributions to the early development of both quantum mechanics and quantum electrodynamics.
