The Mystery of Spinors
One of the most fundamental and far-reaching advances in modern physics was the introduction of spinors by Dirac and their use in his famous equation. I will trace back the origins of this to William Rowan Hamilton's discovery of quaternions and follow up with a survey of the use of spinors in...

| description | One of the most fundamental and far-reaching advances in modern physics was the introduction of spinors by Dirac and their use in his famous equation. I will trace back the origins of this to William Rowan Hamilton's discovery of quaternions and follow up with a survey of the use of spinors in physics and mathematics. Despite their undoubted success the real meaning of spinors remains elusive. |
