On a sub-quantum mechanical interpretation of the Dirac theory
In this paper we will attempt to show that the Dirac theory lends itself to an interpretation in terms of a unified sub-quantum mechanical field theory where, the fundamental force fields are weak electric and weak magnetic fields. We present an electron model based on some of the predictions of the Dirac theory and justify our arguments by showing that the model not only yields the correct value for the g-factor but also gives us the very small correction to the magnetic moment as obtained in the renormalization programme of quantum electrodynamics. The model also allows us to give a new meaning to the negative energy state of an electron. The general outlines of the unified field theory are given and the connection between fluctuations at the Planck and Compton scales is presented in terms of concrete physical events.
