So /sci/ why should we even continue to try and learn new things about science and technology, when all our electronics will be destroyed in the year 2013? There is basically no point in furthering our education, might as well get ready for warlords tyrants and such.

His system for 3-phase AC power generation and transmission is the reason you or anyone else has power right now. Also he was by all accounts a genius with photographic memory (others claim it was an eidetic memory). His insights into electrical field theory advanced wireless communications by decades. In terms of electrical engineers he was the greatest of all time.

2013 Solar Flare, NASA predicts could wipe out technology on a large portion if not all of the world if we can't find ways to detect when it will hit us and if we can create something to "protect" (for lack of better words) our electronics, could wipe out the whole grid, read somewhere it would put us back for the next decade.

I'm not that guy, but some autism people have it. It seems to be caused by some defect in the brain that keeps information from filtering properly. Normal human beings only retain the important shit. You can find video on youtube where autismfags are asked for sauce on a line and they'll cite the book, page number, and line number that it's from. Whether they actually understand it is another thing altogether though.

He's more impressive than Heisenberg. Born and Jordan were just as important as he was in developing Matrix mechanics. Dirac's reformulation of QM in terms of state vectors was done alone. Dirac developed the Dirac equation alone. He discovered antimatter alone. etc.

Dirac was a god.
