| May 26, 2020 at 11:06 | comment | added | user87745 | @joshphysics The spin statistics connection is only for particle physics tho, right? In condensed matter systems, we can, in principle, have integer spins obeying the Fermi-Dirac statistics because Lorentz invariance need not be respected. Correct me if I'm wrong. Of course, the question was as such in the particle physics context. | |

fixing a minor typo. and a trivial semantic improvement to meet the 6-character-edit requirement.

| Dec 3, 2014 at 18:42 | comment | added | joshphysics | +1 and minor comment: although most people believe in the spin-statistics connection (as they should), perhaps it would be pedagogically favorable to qualify the first sentence with a comment about how the definition of a fermion is really a particle that obeys certain statistics, but that it is believed that all such particles have half-integer spin and vice versa. | |
