| Popis: | Postulating the identification of $\psi^*(x, t) \psi(x,t)$ with a physical probability density is unsatisfactory conceptually and overly limited practically. For electrons, there is a simple, calculable relativistic correction proportional to $\nabla \psi^* \cdot \nabla \psi$. In particular, zeroes of the wave function do not indicate vanishing probability density of presence. Effects of this kind arise generically in Lagrangian-based theories implementing the particle concept. Comment: 15 pages, 2 figures |
