Abstract
We examine the question of what it is about the structure of relativistic quantum mechanics that causes the nonintuitive phenomenon of the Zitterbewegung of particle position to exist. Further, we examine various assumptions concerning the measurement process which are implicit in the observation of Zitterbewegung.
