Abstract
Several results that seem to arise quite naturally from Hestenes geometric formulation of Dirac’s equation, and that conflict with the standard view on the relativistic invariance of it, are openly discussed. The result is a better understanding of all quantum theory. On one hand the mathematics of relativistic quantum mechanics is made fully compatible with classical physical theories. On the other hand, the geometrical content of these mathematical operations, involving in an intrinsic manner the observer’s frame, elucidates some of the most fundamental problems and profound mathematical results of quantum mechanics.
