Abstract:

It is shown that the wave functions of a rigid sphere belonging to the eigenvalue J = 1/2, where J denotes the magnitude of the angular momentum due to the rotation of the sphere around its center of mass, transform in exactly the same way as the Dirac spinor under the spatial rotation, space inversion and the Lorentz transformation, and that the Dirac equation is derived automatically from the properties of these wave functions.
