>imaginary numbers are simply a hack that somehow works, it's not like they actually exist, lol
now
>spin is simply an intrinsic property of a particle, it's not like it's actually spinning, lol

is it cope?

The particle does actually have an angular momentum called spin even though the spin doesn't come from, apparently, from rotation about an axis of 3-space.

spin is real faggot. Just cause you don't understand it, doesn't mean it's a hack, unlike complex numbers, or any numbers for that fact.

'Intrinsic angular momentum'

Should be named 'AIM' not Spin, imo.

Read this over and over until it becomes obvious how retarded it is to believe this

Why in the everliving fuck wouldnt they be spinning the same as any other spin? It just magically is different because uhhhhh spinning particles sounds kinda crazy bruhhh or what the fuck?

It's called an irreducible representation of the Poincare group, which is the group of isometries (distance-preserving transormations) of Minkowski space (analog of Euclidean space in relativity). Simply put, spin is a consequence of relativity and tells you how those particles transform under rotations and boosts.

okay, so don't call it spin
call it something else
like jank
or mojo

electrons have a mojo of +/- 1/2
happy now, defintionsfag?

Technically weird shit was observed in particle accelerators first and spin was invented to explain it afterwards
