In 1934, physicist Eugene Wigner introduced Paul Dirac to someone who would change his life far more than any equation ever could his sister, Margit Wigner.
They couldn’t have been more different.
Dirac: quiet, precise, almost no small talk, living in a world of pure logic.
Margit: warm, overflowing with empathy, unstoppable in conversation, grounded in people rather than particles.
For the man who predicted the existence of antimatter, it’s fitting that he and Margit formed their own particle–antiparticle pair — one that, unlike in physics, never annihilated.
