The Dirac sea is a theoretical concept proposed by the British physicist Paul Dirac in the context of quantum mechanics and quantum field theory. It was introduced to address the implications of Dirac's equation, which describes relativistic electrons and predicts the existence of negative energy states. In simple terms, the Dirac sea was envisioned as a "sea" of infinite negative-energy states that are filled with electrons.
