the first thing to be explained is the magnitude of the force qv X B and its direction, and then the magnitude of the electron magnetic moment force. Without explaining the size of qv X B it is hard to understand the Stern Gerlach experiment.
I find the drawings of the experiment slightly misleading: it looks as if the particles cross the magnetic field from left to right, but that's not the case. In reality, the particles travel along an axis perpendicular to the screen. It might be helpful to draw the magnets in 3D.
I think if viewers would like to see the experiment then they can simply look it up themselves; he is just laying out a rough image to compliment the math, not attempt a 3D depiction of the experiment.
Thank you !!! You really help me to understand !!

very good video. Thank you!
Very nice. But, I thought the splitting should be exactly opposite up (down) spins should go down (up).

It's just about adding a couple of lines to the picture, no big deal
cool channel
