    It’s funny to be in this community as someone that is science illiterate because I always learn that I’m too stupid to even understand the joke but I still laugh

      The only thing I learned from multiple physics classes was that I’m not a physicist. People would die if I had to do physics. It’s nonsense made up by nerds to feel smart when real geniuses just eat the apple that falls on their head. Free apple.

        What I learned was W = A * V and later I found out that’s not even true

    Look, we might not be able to tell you what spin is but we’re actually quite sure that it is not spinning but it is nonetheless angular momentum.

    That’s spinning, you say?

    Wrong, idiot. You absolute buffoon.

      This is bad popular science. Look at PBS Spacetime for a better way if doing it.

    The joke is that imagine an electron is a ball that is spinning around, only that it is not a ball and it is not spinning.

      Obviously spin is how the electron feels about being observed

    It’s a good trick.

    I see your spin question and raise “how does a quantum particle have angular momentum” plus “does the observer paradox imply many universes or action at a distance?” (Yep that’s all in. I’m confident there are no answers available to these questions in this language.)Image

    There is the line between knowing and understanding. Or understanding is based on experienced, mainly your everyday life. And quantum mechanics can’t be represented with everyday life examples. But if you work with it everyday, you gain be experience, which leads to understanding. Is just impossible to share with other people. That’s like asking somebody what the word “existence” means

    Spin is how a particular particle be vibin’
