摘要: The experimental discovery of the positive electron gives us a striking confirmation Dirac's theory od electron, and his most recent attempts to gice consistent interpretation formalism that theory. As is well know, quite apart from difficulties connected with existence stability itself, in its original form led very grave all problems involving length sof order Compton wavelength, it predicted occurrence electrons negative kinetic energy, gross conflict experience. Dirac has pointed out we might obtain by assuming only absence energy physical meaning; this way one could avoid critical transitions, yet understand validity many correct predictions theory, such as formula for relativistic fine structure, Thomson Klein-Nishina scattering formulae: was changed, involved cases appearance pairs "antielectrons" -- particles electronic mass charge numerically equal electron. It aspect which remained dubious; appears settle doubt.
