Therefore, it's the internal rotation of a particle that is inseparable from it. As far as conservation laws go etc., it's thus exactly the same thing as the particle's spinning around an axis. However, detailed predictions of allowed values and evolution have to be done with full QM, not clas.mech. motls.blogspot.cz/2012/12/… | |
