In physics, quantum spin is a mathematical construct applied to quantum particles. Like quantum waves, it is said to be imaginary, so when electrons spin, nothing is supposed to actually spin. After all, if an electron is a point particle with no size, how can it spin? And even if it had a size, its edges would have to move faster than light to explain the observed effects. Physics calls quantum spin and quantum waves imaginary because both are physically impossible, but what if they aren’t?
In this model, quantum waves aren’t imaginary, so if the core process behind them is a circle, it can rotate. This section explores the possibility that quantum spin really happens, so by the law of all action, quantum particles spin in every possible direction.
