How are you able to juggle with jargon like "standard model"
and "renormalisable" if you have no background in
Mathematics or Physics?

My advice to you would be to visit a newsgroup that devotes
itself to topics related to, and as close as possible to,
the Dirac equation. Ask a simple straightforward question
about it, state your antecedents clearly, then sit back and
wait for the sneering insults about your lack of
intelligence to roll in. Be persistent, and if you are able
to (this next bit is pretty tough, though), be courteous and
try to never respond in kind. (I do, unfortunately, but what
the heck)

Sooner or later a post will arrive which sheds a little
light on the matter. It may be unintelligible to you, but
anyway give a nice response to this poster and hope he or
she will reply again. Try not to get irritated if they
become irritated by you (pretty difficult). The sneerers may
muscle in, of course, but be patient. Everything comes to he
who waits, as my favourite philosopher once said.

Most important. Ignore the jibes of the
we-know-better-than-you-so-you-have-to-believe-us brigade.
Trying to point up their bad behaviour is a waste of
fingers. They'll simply shift to another pseudonym in an
attempt to make you believe you are on your own, facing some
unshakeable truth. It's the oldest trick in the book,
employed in mosques on Friday, in synagogues on Saturday and
in churches on Sunday. Just s*** behind your hand, and
keep your eye on the ball. Monday_will_come. Keep going
until Thursday. You may learn you are right. You may learn
you were wrong. You will certainly learn something.

 Why should I? I write them, and I am fully aware of the
content.

Only the comprehensible ones, as I carefully explained in my
answer to your request above. When you get the Dirac
equation jargon thrown at you from all angles, which you
will, just try to treat it as water off a duck's back.
Someone, somewhere out there, will have the necessary
ability and skill to: A) understand fully the Dirac equation
(it isn't me, that's for sure) and; B) a clear mind, solid
colloquial language and sufficient patience to see you
through the dark days ahead (that might just be me, but then
I don't meet requirement A). The incomprehensible will wait
on Google until you are ready for it. Hope this helps. Good
luck in your quest!

Cheers,

John
