Electron Spin Explained
Electron spin explained: imagine a ball that's rotating, except it's not a ball and it's not rotating N S + 1/2 S N − 1/2
The image shows two red spheres with arrows, magnetic poles, and spin labels illustrating electron spin. The joke is that “spin” is a misleading analogy: an electron behaves as if it has angular momentum, but it is not literally a rotating ball, making this useful as a humorous reaction to overly simplified scientific explanations.
