What is Relativistic Quantum Mechanics about?
It is more important to repair errors than to prevent them. This is thequintessence of the philosophy of human cognition known as critical ratio-nalism which is perhaps at its most dominant in modern natural sciences.According to it insights are gained through a series of presumptions andrefutations, through preliminary solutions that are continuously, rigorously,and thoroughly tested. Here it is of vital importance that insights are neververifiable but, at most, falsifiable. In other words: a natural scientific theorycan at most be regarded as “not being demonstrably false” until it can beproven wrong. By contrast, a sufficient criterion to prove its correctness doesnot exist.Newtonian mechanics, for example, could be regarded as “not beingdemonstrably false” until experiments with the velocity of light were per-formed at the end of the 19th century that were contradictory to the pre-dictions of Newton’s theory. Since, so far, Albert Einstein’s theory of specialrelativity does not contradict physical reality (and this theory being simplein terms of its underlying assumptions), relativistic mechanics is nowadaysregarded as the legitimate successor of Newtonian mechanics. This does
