What is the electron spin? |
As far as we can understand, electron spin is the electron's intrinsic
angular momentum.
As far as we can tell, the electron is still regarded as a point like
particle, with no internal structure and no physical size.
How can a point particle, without any physical size, "spin" and have
intrinsic angular momentum?
The "spinning" of the point particle is meaningless. What matters is
where the intrinsic angular momentum originates from inside the
electron.
There are many people who believe that an electron's mass may have an
electromagnetic origin. Is there a possibility then that the electron
spin also has an electromagnetic origin?
What Is the Electron Spin? makes a basic assumption that the electron
itself has an electromagnetic origin. It then extends that theory to
all of the electron's properties, such as mass and spin, claiming they
have an electromagnetic origin as well. For example, an electron's
self-energy comes from its electromagnetic field energy, and the
electron spin is the angular momentum of the electron's
electromagnetic field.
An electron's magnetic field is similar to that of a magnetic dipole
field, where the north pole is a single unit with a negative magnetic
charge and the south pole is a single unit with a positive magnetic
charge.
Multiples of the electric charge unit "e" and the magnetic unit "g"
equals Planck's constant "h."

Hi John Smith , Re: The " True " nature of electrons ,
You note , " As far as we can tell ,
the electron is still regarded as a point like particle ,
with no internal structure and no physical size "
Sure , When scientists " Measure " electrons ,
It's Like a particle ... It's also Like a wave .
The measurements also return
one of a discrete set of values .
Because our information will forever be incomplete ...
Even if we could see sub " Particles "
inside an electron ... We'd still me measuring maxima ,
like quantum ghosts , spooky appertains .

One would imagine you'd be more outraged by a zero-dimensional
particle having finite mass at apparent infinite density. Newton was
wrong. Quantum numbers don't care about your physical
interpretation. Try this: All the goodies are in the Feynman diagrams
clothing the particle.
The "spinning" of the point particle is meaningless.
Uncle Al recants. The simple explanation is that you are a spewing
uneducated idiot.

QM is meaningless too. That's one of the reasons why The Smart Model was
developed.
