![]() ![]() That’s a clinical term for folks who dream big.īut for our purposes, Dirac is Dirac Research, makers of the Dirac Live Room Correction Suite, or Dirac Live RCS ($850 USD), a complex software system of measurements and corrections aimed at removing the sonic influence of your room through the use of intricate algorithms that measure phase, distance, and frequency response. My field was psychology, and what all this scientific talk means to me is that the guys who named their product after Professor Dirac have giant cojones. I dropped Physics 101 to avoid a failing grade, so none of this makes sense to me. I don’t understand any of that either, but apparently folks who are into quantum mechanics and quantum field theory fully understand Dirac’s incredible gifts as a theoretical physicist and the vast usefulness of his vita opus: the singular delta function. As explained at, the DIRAC experiment uses “a precise magnetic double arm spectrometer, installed in the high intensity proton beam of the CERN Proton Synchrotron,” to simultaneously “measure the lifetime of atoms . . . to observe & atoms . . . and then to measure the atom lifetime.” Surely all of our knowledgeable readers will know that the name Dirac is intimately connected with Nobel-winning physicist Paul Dirac and the experiment whose acronym spells his name: the DImeson Relativistic Atom Complex. ![]()
