Opis EN

When people think of Paul Dirac, Nobel Prize winner and all round clever-clogs, little do they realise that he was a Bristolian. Yet incredibly he was. Born in Bishopston in 1902, he was educated first at Bishop Road primary school and then at the Merchant Venturers' technical college before moving on to Bristol University where he studied electrical engineering. After completing his degree, he decided that electrical engineering really wasn't his bag and decided to try mathematics; or rather specifically general relativity and quantum physics over in Cambridge.

 

 It was here that Dirac produced his seminal work “Principles of Quantum Mechanics”, and was in 1933, jointly awarded the Nobel prize of Physics for his work on new forms of atomic theory. He also did ground breaking work on quantum monopoles and the existence of antimatter.

 

To commemorate Paul Dirac's achievements, the Institute of Physics sponsored the construction of a rather striking sculpture. It is around this sculpture, that this cache focuses.

 

To log this cache you need to complete TWO simple tasks:

1. Locate the nearby plaque that goes with the sculpture, and answer the following question. What type of Cement was used in the construction of the sculpture? Enter this 5 letter word into the “Password” box in CAPITAL letters.

2.Post a photo of yourself, or your GPSr, standing in front of the sculpture.

 

Congratulations to Amberel on the FTF.
