| Resident Diabolist | Re: how to visualise the particles of spin 1/2,3/2----- What do you mean by structure? There are many scientists that believe that elemantary particles are pointlike (until the contrary is proved), as reality can be described in this way. An electron has spin 1/2 and is an elemantary particle, what does then structure mean? And adding to that I think (what I read in the book Group theory and QM by tinkham) the fact that you have to turn the particle twice to have again the same spin isn't a problem from the physical viewpoint, because if after one turn you have a minus sign in front of your wavefunction the probabvilty density stays the same as it is the module squared.... ---------------- Administrator A COUNTRY WITHOUT AN ARMY IS LIKE A FISH WITHOUT A BIKE!!! I don't believe in god, but I do believe in what others call utopies. | |
