What is particle spin?

Newton's law says that objects keep moving unless something stops them. This also applies to objects spinning around. Usually, things need to have a shape to spin, like a ball or a top. But in the world of tiny particles in quantum physics, even things without a shape, like fundamental particles, can spin. It's a bit weird because they don't spin around anything—they just have this property called "spin." This spin thing is important in quantum physics because it has some strange features, like not having a specific direction to spin and having unique properties useful for things like quantum computers. So in this episode, we'll dive into how these spins work in the quantum world. Visit http://www.quirkcast.org/ Discord: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://discord.gg/7c6myZ8Z
