> Dirac was quite a character, excruciatingly awkward ... one word per hour.

Apparently he was quite vocal in religious matters.

According to Heisenberg, Wolfgang Pauli said once:

> Es gibt keinen Gott und Dirac ist sein Prophet. (There is no God and Dirac is his Prophet.)

xD

There are plenty of funny anecdotes surrounding these blokes, they've spend often time together on conferences or traveling.

FWIW The University Göttingen lists Dirac among "their" 40 Nobel laureates because of his frequent visits. (Success is sexy ;)

Needless to mention that most leaders of the Manhatten project where former PhD students or assistants of Max Born in Göttingen, including Oppenheimer and Teller.

Steven Hawkings is another generation, I read his bestselling book and hope he was a better physicist than author.

At least he made it into an episode of Star Trek and he's often referenced in the Big Bang Theory.
