Abstract
The following two papers form a natural development of a previous series of three articles on the foundations of quantum mechanics; they are intended to take the theory there developed to its utmost logical and epistemological consequences. We show in the first paper that relativistic quantum mechanics might accommodate without ambiguities the notion of negative masses. To achieve this, we rewrite all of its formalism for integer and half integer spin particles and present the world revealed by this conjecture. We also base the theory on the second order Klein-Gordon's and Dirac's equations and show that they can be stated with only positive definite energies. In the second paper we show that the general relativistic quantum mechanics derived in paper II of this series supports this conjecture.
