In this video, we'll derive the Dirac equation, and see where it comes from! :) Recommended reading: Introduction to Elementary Particles, by David Griffiths, Chapter 7. Equations from the videos are available as downloadable PDFs on my Patreon. I'll also be on there to answer any questions you might have. https://www.patreon.com/RichardBehiel Chapters: 0:00 Intro 0:38 Three Principles for the Dirac Equation 3:12 Square Root of the Mass Shell 7:30 Anticommutation Relations 9:50 The Dirac Matrices 10:58 The Dirac Equation 13:58 Spinors #physics #quantum #relativity
