Did you know there's a cheshire cat principle in quantum mechanics?

Just as she says "I've seen a cat without a grin but never a grin without a cat!" there are commonly particles without a spin, but we've had spins without an associated particle. QM IS WEIRD AND AWESOME

I completely agree. Though... how do you have a spin without a particle? Enlighten us.

We CAN detect the thing that's "spinning". But in some instances, we find the thing that's supposed to have the spin in one place, and the actual spin parameter in another. I think this is just more evidence that the universe is purely mathematical.

huh. i like how you think. i completely agree. "...I'm arguing that our physical world doesn't just have SOME mathematical properties, but it has ONLY mathematical properties." - Max Tegmark

IFL Tegmark. I'm yet to read his book, but I actually thought of a purely mathematical universe before I even heard of him and his book. I'll eventually read his book. :D

I'm very much so a nerd. :V I have a fetish for math and I go by ISS or Fractal. DUH

Good for you! Nerds are awesome. I wear glasses so I'm 15% nerd 👓

Eh I don't consider glasses to be nerdy in the least sense. I'm 100% nerd inside and out xD

I still don't get these spin things...
