It’s mind blowing to me that particles with no inherent physical shape or dimension can be considered “spinning” not because we observe them spinning but because they have literally all the characteristics of a spinning particle other than actual rotation around an axis
Spin is easy, it just only shows in our current formulation of quantum mechanics, has no classical counterpart, is sort of a type of angular momentum, but isn’t, whatever shut up.
See also: spin.
spin is something that behaves like spin. the right answer is shut up and calculate
WE SPIN. WE BALL.

Look man everything else is spinning so why not the tiny bits too
Seems simple enough to me.
How the fuck did I miss that we already had the perfect emoji for this?
it is really hard to remember all our emojis

Unfortunately the algorithm has censored that url :(

Is that why spin doctors get paid so well?
Meat has been shown to have spin also. They made a website about this
