Strange. Paul Dirac was a neighbour of mine at Cambridge. He got his PhD with a thesis which consisted on one quarter of a sheet of fullscap - the shortest the PhD thesis in the University, for which he won the Nobel Prize. But I saw no mention of surfing music in the thesis, it was just about relativity pumping up the waves.
