[@German_K5]

so, can anyone explain what spin is you know, like the 1/2 stuff and how to visualize it.

[@Cannongabang]

@believe German K5 Ok i Will try. First of all spin is the result of a famous experiment, the Stern Gerlach one: in their apparatus, briefly put, a beam of energetic electrons (like a laser) goes through a narrow path between magnets (a non-perfectly uniform magnetic field) and the path results split in two paths (up path and down path) at the end of the pathway the electrons took. This baffled scientists. Others eventually could even repeat with a very low flux of electron (imagine one electron per second) and the electron had a 50% of either going up or down. This killed determinism, even from a statistical physics point of view: how could an electron go either up or down? Then the electron must live in a "spin" state which is 50% of the times up and 50% of the times down. Spin up, spin down. How does the electron "decide" whether it goes up or down in the Stern Gerlach apparatus? Well this is the beginning of quantum mechanics. Spin is one of the seeds of quantum mechanics and its postulates! I can suggest some readings like Griffiths introduction to Quantum Mechanics if you would like a very soft intro to QM, or Shankar Principles of quantum mechanics for clear statement of the axioms, or even Introduction to Hilbert Spaces with Applications by Debnath if you want a formal axiomatic introduction to quantum mechanics. Briefly speaking, spin is a quantum "magnetic dipole" property of fundamental particles, and leads it to the quantum interaction with magnetic field. An electron can be both spin up and spin down until a measurement is made (such as stern Gerlach, it blocks the spin to either up or down after the magnetic interaction which counts as a measurement by the environment). Have a great day :)

Very funny!!! Typical physicist humor. When I was an undergrad I had some physics major friends and I would hear these sorts of jokes and stories quite frequently. Loved the line on the whiteboard about Foundations of advanced introductory physics for professional beginners!! 😄

[@TheOGQuantumGamer]

TIL that my undergrad profs teach the class like a grad level course.

[@amazinglynn]

I was a math major and I feel this so hard 😂 but instead of undergrad vs grad it was like the first 5 semesters vs the last 3 for me, especially with the 6 page hw assignments and the you’ll learn this later/you should’ve learned this already 😭

But... what is an electron ?

Even as just a chemistry professor, I can vouch for the amusing accuracy of this!

Not only was this video golden and achingly true, but I was mostly staring at the class titles on the whiteboard this whole time laughing my ass off because each one just hits so freaking hard 😂😂😂 God I cannot believe this is my life

This is one hell of a video I've watched in ages. Please please please keep making such videos. From 1:33, I got a big big woaaahhh. We used to study from Griffith's as well during undergrad and I remember sitting in the library with I guess 4 books opened for the homework of my graduate school electromagnetic theory course 😂😂 Totally totally dope video. ❤️

[@StNick119]

I do maths, not physics, but all these jokes still apply perfectly to my classes. My maths heart goes out to all of you physics peeps.

[@aliittayem2244]

StNick119 I’m also a math major and all of these apply in some way or another and it’s hilarious

[@magnus7914]

One could say maths homework is a TRIVIAL pursuit. trolololol

[@universe1879]

physics is advanced math lolololololol

[@19thHour]

The "Searching for a book or resource that will help with a homework problem" applies to every graduate degree :(

[@bunbury4620]

That homework bit is tooooo real. Twenty books from the library and they are all useless

[@saitougin7210]

The spin question is so true. Also I noticed the 1/137 finestructure constant and then the pi/137 reference to the cgs-system, where you just move multiples of pi from some equations to others, just so that some of the equations in electro-magnetism look a bit easier.

[@tyh7529]

"Relativistic Astrology" lol

[@awayname5008]

I died at the “what exactly is spin?“ part.

[@flymousechiu]

Professor, screaming internally: "STOP ASKING THIS I DON'T KNOW EITHER!!!"

[@u.v.s.5583]

The answer is written in the Ancient Scroll. First law of Spin: He who thinks he understands spin does not understand spin. Second law of Spin (Palpatine's theorem): spinning is a good trick.

[@plasmakitten4261]

Spin is like an object in non-Euclidean geometry. We call them points, lines, angles, etc. but they bear absolutely no resemblance to our real world understanding of those words and what's more are so algorithmically sturdy that we could call them frogs, cows and chickens and everything we are saying would still be correct. Spin is like that.

[@bensparrow3356]

It shows my progression as a physics student that I now perfectly understand that last joke :D

[@johnmanno9701]

Brilliant. I'm not a physicist, but many friends are, and I read about physics a lot. TOTALLY accurate!

[@ghostlyapples]

I’m at my last semester of uni, getting my degree in History in a couple months so let me say this is interdisciplinary lol

The dichotomy of beginner and expert - classical display, I'm convinced. You're like real life xkcd

[@Antiath]

That last joke reasonnates so much it hurts... I want to punch every professors who said something was "straightforward" or eve worse ....."trivial".

[@harleyspeedthrust4013]

I'm an undergrad and my homeworks are usually 10-15 pages, one of them was so phat I couldn't even staple it

The slightest shred of hope.

"What exactly is spin?" "yes"

[@garyhsk8]

And, no

[@briansanchez8302]

Bro, the " you should recall from undergrad" bit really brought back some memories. This happened way too often!

[@OmgEinfachNurOmg]

That question what spin is really got me laughing. I only understood it in my masters when I had a really good professor. All the other ones before never truly answered it fully

[@hassanalghamdi131]

basic Japanese 😂😂😂

[@nagitokomaeda3869]

Love these joke videos 😂

[@OfficialSpimy]

"Joke video" But it's reality.

[@DavidPumpernickel]

The Griffiths thing for undergrad is scarily accurate. So many undergrad E&M questions answered instantly by opening to the correct page...

[@UchihaKat]

It's the derivation being on your homework instead of taught that really got me. So accurate it hurts. Stupid quantum.
