Abstract

It is suggested symmetric relative to particles and antiparticles formulation of the Dirac theory, in which the states with negative energy are excluded. The fields of particles and antiparticles are associated with the wave functions, for which there is valid the Born interpretation of being the probability amplitudes. In doing so, one eliminates different kinds of "paradoxes" in the theory, which existence is caused by an incorrect account of the states with negative energy.
