Abstract
It is known and very essential to Dirac’s theory that it is compatible with a transformation of coordinates under the laws of special relativity. In other words, if we change the (space-time) coordinate system by a Lorentz transform then Dirac’s equation remains intact - except for the physically signifficant changes of potentials - for example, a moving electrostatic field will also generate a magnetic field, under Faraday’s laws1.
