On evidence for negative energies and masses in the Dirac equation through a unitary time-reversal operator
Year: 2018
Type: article
Abstract: We review the standards of relativistic quantum mechanics such as the Dirac equation under the concept of negative masses. We show that negative energies are acceptable provided the masses are simultaneously negative. Negative energy and mass anti-fermions are obtained from positive energy and mass fermions through a unitary PT transformation.
