Angular momentum has many forms and has different meanings in classical and quantum mechanics. This question does not lay out clear, bright-line criteria for what you'll be ready to accept as 'angular momentum', so it just feels like you're prepared to move the goalposts. If you have a clear goalpost set in mind, then it would be very helpful if you include it into the question. | |
