Electron Half Spin Explanation & Demo

Electrons have an unusual property called spin-1/2, and it plays a crucial role in quantum mechanics and chemistry. In this video, I’ll show you a simple demonstration to illustrate what spin-one-half is and why it’s so incredibly important to everything you know and love.

You'll see:
The basics of electron spin
How electron half spin differs from classical spinning objects
The significance of spin-1/2 in the quantum world

I've been looking for a simple and fairly intuitive explanation of spin and, when I was about to give up, this video came out! Thanks a ton!!

Great videos! In some of them I like that you talk about the background and history like the benzol videos. Others do videos and show facts and theories we need to learn but they do not show the background and attempts till these theories have been verified . Thank you !

half spin is an abstract value. meaning we actually do not see how it happens, but we assume that happens, the question is why we assumed why it happens. that is because we assigned the +1 and -1, and what is in-between them is 0,

What beats me is this: Scientists observe all these intricate details and conditions for the existence of our universe and still assert the universe came from nothing! Wow! the arrogance and pride of man's heart is also worthy of intense study!

You: “There is no good classical mechanics demo that I can do for this…”
