Electrons aren't discs. John is thinking that quantum mechanical spin is like the spin of a rotating disc. It's not. > You can't rotate nothing at all. Electrons aren't nothing.

Sure, quantum numbers can exist for electrons and that's in fact what physicists say. Doesn't make quantum mechanical spin the spin of a disc though. -- Odd Bodkin --- maker of fine toys, tools, tables
