Abstract
A detailed consideration of the Klein-Gordon equation in relativistic quantum mechanics is presented in order to offer more clarity than many standard approaches The equation is frequently employed in the research literature even though problems have often been raised regarding its second-order nature the status of its negative-energy solutions and the formulation of particle density and flux Most of these problems can be avoided by dismissing the negative energy solutions An application of the equation to a broad wave-packet shows that a small amendment to the usual relativistic formalism can be helpful to demonstrate continuity with the non-relativistic case although difficulties remain when the proposed quantum state has a broad relativistic energy distribution
