Depends on the spin-1/2 particle. You need something to "grab it with". Electrons "want to" stay aligned with magnetic fields[1]. Imagine two bar magnets, north to south: NNNSSS e- NNNSSS, with an electron in the m

The locality is all equally continuous in all these cases. Someone near the black-hole horizon will see nothing unusual, and will not experience a horizon unless they are accelerating like mad to stay there. But someone doing that in fla

Well, it acts quite a bit like an angular momentum of that amount, including obeying conservation laws jointly with regular ("orbital") angular momentum. I don't know of a good way of explaining the half-integral nature witho

And justice was done in that case. In the next Minneapolis case, Philando Castile, a black man, it wasn't. Again, the rioting isn't a good thing, but it's understandable .

What was the need for this sneering comment? This isn't phrenology in the racist and pseudoscientific sense at all. It's not even trying to correlate anthropometrics. The Ainu are actually a distinct people, and noticing the rea

Ah, the etymological fallacy. Certainly the office of censor started in ancient Rome. However there have been plenty of other censors throughout history, and many that currently exist. Consider: 1. The Catholic Church's https:/&
