Which physicist defined Dirac's work as a'dizzying path between genius and madness'?

  • Isaac Newton

  • Ernest Rutherford

  • Albert Einstein

  • Werner Heisenberg

Answer

Albert Einstein, the physicist known for his theory of relativity, described Paul Dirac's work as a "dizzying path between genius and madness". This was because Dirac's work was often so complex and difficult to understand that it seemed to teeter on the edge of being nonsensical. However, Dirac's work was also incredibly important, and it helped to lay the foundation for modern quantum physics.
