Have found a Youtube video:
The Reason for Antiparticles: The 1986 Dirac Memorial Lecture

Other than the book of the lecture, which is difficult to get hold of cheaply, does anyone know if this material on why quantum mechanics and relativity together require the existence of antiparticles is covered in any of his other books or in the Feynman lectures on Physics?

ok thanks I'll take a look they seem cheap enough I take it that the

QED: The Strange Theory of Light and Matter

book also covers this subject - a book rather the lecture transcript might
be more accessible.

Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. Towards the end of the first lecture for the Qiskit Global Summer School 2025, Foundations of Quantum Mechanics, Olivia Lanes (Global Lead, Content and Education IBM) stated...

If we release an electron around a positively charged sphere, the initial state of electron is a linear combination of Hydrogen-like states. According to quantum mechanics, evolution of time would not change this initial state because the potential is time independent. However, classically we expect the electron to collide with the sphere. So, it seems that the quantum and classics predict different behaviours!
