      It's a quantum mechanical number (just like n,l or d), WITHOUT further meaning on a macroscopic level. Especially does it NOT mean, that something (eg an electron) is (literally) spinning clockwise/counter-clockwise or left/right. that's just an explanation given to make it more intuitive, although the magnetic moments might support this suggestions.
      The only important thing is that both fermions (in this case electrons) are not identical in all quantum numbers, hence the difference in spin wen occupying the same space. It's best to treat it like a number / unknown property without thinking too much about it and what it might man in a macroscopic world (trying to interpret quantum mechanics usually only leads only to trouble and weirdness (just think of quantum eraser experiments). So it's best to avoid all interpretations in QM and focus on the math, because that always results in the correct answer).

    • @SpaghettiToaster
      @SpaghettiToaster 7 років тому +1

      Frank Schneider That's not true at all. Quantum spin has all the properties of a classical spinning motion, including the preservation of angular momentum etc. It is completely right to think of it that way. That is how you understand things instead of just describing them abstractly.

    • @RoboBoddicker
      @RoboBoddicker 7 років тому +2

      Particles have angular momentum, yeah, but it's wrong to think of them as literally spinning around an axis. Experiments have put maximum bounds on the size of the electron, so even if it does have some tiny volume, it would have to be spinning faster than the speed of light to maintain its observed angular momentum.

    • @NotApplicable555

  • @DarkHorse70
    @DarkHorse70 7 років тому +3

    Forgive me if this is a dumb question, but when you use the word spin, as indeed you sometimes use the word colour, do you really mean that it spins, of is this possibly just a name of a property that could lurk in and out of one of the 11 dimensions that could exist? If this spin is real, is it something you can actually observe, or do you only observe the nature of a property? Thanks for the video, other than that everything is pretty clear.

How do we observe this particles, how did we discover them? How can we know their spin?

    Didn't understand how two particles can be at the same place,I mean in very very microscopic measurement there is always a chance that any two particles can't be at the same place?
    To be more clear,I had seen this explanation for fermions on wikipedia:
    "no two fermions can share a quantum state (which includes position in space), if they have the same quantum numbers, such as spin."
    So,how can position in space be used as quantum state?

      In the U.S., carbonated soft drinks are sold in 2 liter bottles and milk is sold in quarts. Metric actually is the law of the land in the U.S., but few citizens care and the bulk of the populace merrily goes on using Imperial units. Metric is the norm in matters automotive, where internationalization has occurred and (of course) profit rules.

    • @innocentsmith6091
      @innocentsmith6091 6 років тому +2

      US Customary, you mean. Imperial was the British system which was codified after 1776. That's just a pedantic gripe of mine though. But yes, all of our units are defined in terms of SI units.
      Anyway, there's nothing special about metric. You could add prefixes to represent powers of ten to any measurement system, and you can define any unit in terms of physical constants. Metric started out with poorly defined units, like the meter being one eight-millionth of the distance from the equator to the north pole or whatever. Hell, the kilogram is finally getting redefined in terms of the Planck constant instead of the International Prototype Kilogram next year. Metric is only standard in physics, engineering, and the military because France had sufficient influence at a crucial point in the history of science. There's no reason to fix what ain't broke, but something else could have been not broke if history turned out differently.

    Dr. Lincoln,
    I came across your video on Inflation. We have devised the inflationary expansion to reason out homogeneity in the early early universe. It is also widely agreed that the universe was at a superfluid state at the crazy High temperatures. Is it possible that all elementary partials were behaving like Bose-Einstein fluid at high energy state. Would this help explain the homogenous state of the early universe? I am sure I am missing something fundamental...please clarify

    @jsykes1942 4 роки тому

    There. My unasked question got answered at 3:25 in this video - an unlimited amount of bosons can exist in the same place at the same time. So if a particle does not experience time, like a photon, then it would not experience space either. This may explain why two entangled particles instantaneously respond when only one of them is affected. They are not really separated by time or distance. They exist in the zero-dimensional roots of our universe and can appear to be in two separate spaces of a four dimensional universe, when they are actually not.

    • @volkryn
      @volkryn 7 років тому +4

      To visualize source of Pauli Exclusion, imagine particles as their wave functions. Since Bosons have symmetrical wave functions (integer spins), they can fit together by multiplying wave and don't need to apply any force to do that. It doesn't change their spin and any other fundamental property, just amplitude of wave function x number of particles in the same place.
      Fermions in other hand, have anti-symmetrical wave functions, so they can't fit each other. If one would force them, it probably would result with change of wave functions destroying original particles and produce by random chance of interference between wave functions completely different particles.
      I guess that's happens in particle colliders like LHC, when quarks are smash together and produce completely different particles like Higgs Boson.

    • @chris_thornborrow
      @chris_thornborrow 7 років тому +1

      it seems to me that Paulis equations were an attempt to explain the observed data (arrangement of electrons in shells) in terms of quantum properties. His equation results mathematically in a consequence (the exclusion principle). So the principle is derived. Neither the equations nor the principle attempt to explain why this occurs.
      As the equations explain the data, a consequence of the equations is that two co-located electrons can only vary in one quantum property - spin. One would have 1/2 the other must have -1/2. I think this would result in destructive interference of their wave functions (mathematically at the very least).

Some say spin is intrinsic property mean we have no idea about the property of spin, but the result is know, in case of fermions when passes through N-S pole magnetic field some fermion deflect N side some S side. So from this it is concluded that fermions have "some intrinsic " property due to which this happens. But with regards sir in ur video u say that particles spin around them like earth spin around its own axis. Plz help me to understood does spin mean general spin of particles or something else whichi we can not know, but we only know about the effect caused by this property.. Also physically what is meant by integral spin and half integral spin? Sir....

    Prominent Indian physicists say that naming of the 'God particle' Boson after Indian scientist Satyendra Nath Bose is the biggest honour. The reactions came after Britain's Peter Higgs and Belgian Francois Englert won this year's Nobel Prize in Physics for their work on the 'God particle'.

    Can 2 fermions some how combine their spins to make a boson.

    It would be interesting to create a Sci-Fi movie showing particles on a different planet with unusual properties.

    do they spin different directions right turn be a positive molecule and left negative molecule or vice versa

    So, a half of an integer is still an integer?

    whats the spin of flerion

  • @Harry351ify
    @Harry351ify 7 років тому

    So, it seems that the smallest spin possible is 1/2 and everything else is integer multiples of it. So why do we stick with 1/2h instead of introducing a new unit which equals half a Plank constant? Also could this be because of an underlying physical structure yet to discover? Something that quantizes the spin?

    • @nmagko

      Pramod Herath, it makes sense, if 1/2h will be a new unit scale maybe we will get a binary scale like computers... higgs 0, fermions 1 (before 1/2), photons 2 (before 1), graviton 4 (before 2) and so on?

    are these bosons and fermions actual particles? or are they just energy fields? I don't understand much of this, and it seems to me that everything is just energy

    I was always confused over this term Spin. Can someone please explain it -- when we're talking about a spin of a subatomic particle, is there something that is actually "spinning" there, or is it just a name? Kinda like "colors" in the names of quarks.

    OK yet the EPR detector measures spin of positron electron . What methods was used to determine spin ? I am engineer who actually worked at BNL and moved the bubble chamber where omega minus was discovered . I am not a physicist.
    A lot of people ask this question on spin and how it is determined.שלום

    2:48 Can someone help me understand the x-axis that is antisymmetric here. I'm guessing y is probability, but is x related to time or space or both? And does this by chance have to do with a photon (a boson)'s time-reversibility due to it not having mass and moving at the speed of light?

    The video was awesome,i do have a question though
    Let's say there's a type of fermion with max spin value of +3/2 so there can exist the same type of particle with spin value of +1/2 ,but then we know that electrons have
    A spin value of +1/2 too, assuming the characters of the electron and the weird particle with max spin value of +3/2 have the exact same properties(except spin)
    how can we distinguish them?

    • @sydhenderson6753
      @sydhenderson6753 7 місяців тому

      There do exist fermions with spin +3/2; they consist of three quarks of the same type (you can' have that with spin +1/2 due to the Pauli exclusion principle), or as an excited state of a fermion with spin +1/2. The excited states have VERY short half-lives.
      As far as we know, there are are no fundamental particles with spin 3/2; the ones I mentioned are composites of quarks.
