Dirac’s Equation and Antimatter: A Quantum-Leap Concept
In the 1920s, a profound convergence reshaped physics: special relativity and quantum mechanics, once separate pillars, fused into a new framework that revealed matter’s hidden counterpart—antimatter. At the heart of this breakthrough stood Dirac’s equation, a relativistic wave equation that not only explained the electron’s spin but predicted particles with identical mass yet opposite charge—a […]
