Mathematical beauty is not only for pleasure, according to the great quantum theorist Dirac, who taught us that we should let mathematical beauty guide us in our discovery of new physical laws. This is how Dirac was able to predict the existence of anti-particles before they were discovered experimentally, and his philosophy about mathematical beauty is a cornerstone of modern theoretical physics.
