I love it how physics educators explain particle spin: "so you know how a spinning top can spin? yeah, exactly, so this is not like that."

[@danieljensen2626]

The funny thing is for a lot of the behavior related to spin it's actually a decent analogy.

[@Debrafeem]

It actually is analogous. Single particles do not spin in the sense of a top, but possess a quantum mechanical characteristic named spin which does in fact interact through the same laws of angular momentum conservation. This suggests that the literal spinning in macroscopic objects has direct ties to the subatomic qm spin. How they relate isn't entirely understood, but thinking of subatomic particles as spinning is a totally adequate analogy in so far as analogies aren't made to represent the things themselves but rather to provide some similar intuition from related things. Therefore, the behavior of a particle with spin is in many ways analogous to that of a spinning top, without itself spinning =P

[@heywrandom8924]

The problem isn't spin it's spin 1/2. Integer spins are easy to understand. A Spin 1 particle is described by a vector and a spin 2 particle is described by a matrix which can be understood as the tensor product of two vectors. This tensor product can also be understood as an association of two spin 1 particles to form a composite spin 2 particle. You can then say that a spin one particle described by a vector is a sort of square root, under the tensor product multiplication, of a spin 2 particle. A spin 1/2 is a square root of spin 1 particle in the sense that you can form a spin 1 particle from the composite of two spin 1/2 particles (actually you get a vector and a scalar) . Also spin is a property that can be understood within the Lorentz group (rotations and relativistic boosts) without having to talk about quantum mechanics. Quantum mechanics is instead needed to understand why charged spin 1/2 particles have actual physical applications rather than just being a mathematical trick.

@@AKHAN-no1bz just basic wobble of a spinning top is surprisingly complicated. I don't really know too much about the particle "wobble" but it's probably way way more abstract and complicated

[@swapnanilmandal2250]

@@AKHAN-no1bz Basically if the axis of the top makes an angle with the vertical then the gravitional force exerts a torque on the top, but along with it the changing angular momentum exerts a restoring torque which tends to keep the top upright. This is seen as wobbling of the top which results from the spinning motion of the top. When particles enter a magnetic field they too wobble(even uncharged particles like neutrons) and the scientists say that the reason for this wobble is the magnetic spin of the particle, however no one knows what spin actually is, people define it just by the wobble.

We would go swimming at their pool, play tennis, go fishing and just hang out. Later on, as we got older, we would attend their fancy Chef's Dinners at Fermi.
