Abstract
On the basis of the invariance of Dirac equation Lu(x,c)=0 with respect to the inversion of the speed of light Q:(x,c)=(x,-c), it is shown that the relationship [C,PTQ]u(x,c)=0 between the transformations of the charge conjugation C, the space inversion P, the time reversal T and the inversion of the speed of light Q is true. The charge conjugation in quantum theory may be interpreted as the consequence of the discrete symmetries reflecting the fundamental properties of space, time and speed of light.
