Essence of Special Relativity, Reduced Dirac Equation and Antigravity

General Physics 2010-07-20 v1 Quantum Physics

Abstract

The essence of special relativity is hiding in the equal existence of particle and antiparticle, which can be expressed by two discrete symmetries within one inertial frame --- the invariance under the (newly defined) space-time inversion (xx,tt{\bf x}\to -{\bf x},t\to -t), or equivalently, the invariance under a mass inversion (mmm\to -m). The problems discussed are: the evolution of the CPTCPT invariance into a basic postulate, an unique solution to the original puzzle in Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen paradox, the reduced Dirac equation for hydrogenlike atoms, and the negative mass paradox leading to the prediction of antigravity between matter and antimatter. {\bf Keywords}: Special relativity, Reduced Dirac Equation, Antiparticle, Antigravity
