Fully Symmetric Relativistic Quantum Mechanics and Its Physical Implications
Bao D. Tran,
Zdzislaw E. Musielak
Abstract:A new formulation of relativistic quantum mechanics is presented and applied to a free, massive, and spin zero elementary particle in the Minkowski spacetime. The reformulation requires that time and space, as well as the timelike and spacelike intervals, are treated equally, which makes the new theory fully symmetric and consistent with the Special Theory of Relativity. The theory correctly reproduces the classical action of a relativistic particle in the path integral formalism, and allows for the introducti… Show more
