An unexpected tile at Westminster Abbey

This tile was in front of the monument for Sir Isaac Newton in Westminster Abbey.
I have to say, I didn’t quite expect to see it, mainly for the reason that, by anecdotes, Dirac was an atheist.
And I’m shamed to say I didn’t recognize the Dirac equation, at least not while I was looking at it (for some reason, I kept trying to link it to something I learned in nonrelativistic QM). Well, in my defense, I’ve never taken formal QFT … and chances are I won’t.
Also, I’ve been meaning to put up photos from my London trip; well, it’s going to take a while; I’ll back-date the posts to match the date of the trip.
