Re: particle spin |
Does quantum spin contain energy? If it does, I would like to ask, if the
energy of the quantum spin of a proton were converted into energy, then how
fast would it be able to accelerate the proton.

Spin is angular momentum. Angular momentum is not energy.
The energy of a particle which has spin and magnetic moment will, when
placed in a magnetic field, depend on the orientation of its spin relative
to the direction of the magnetic field.
