About this audiobook
Every electron carries it, nothing is spinning, and the world exists because of it. This book tells the complete story of quantum spin, the intrinsic angular momentum that every fundamental particle owns as an unchanging part of its identity: how it was forced on physics by a stubborn crisis in spectroscopy, how Pauli admitted a two-valuedness he could not describe, how Kronig had the right idea first and was talked out of publishing it, and how two young Dutch physicists, Uhlenbeck and Goudsmit, rescued the spinning electron from their own second thoughts with a paper they immediately tried to withdraw. It follows Thomas's factor of two that saved the theory, Dirac's equation that made spin a consequence of relativity, and the spin-statistics theorem that divides the world into fermions and bosons.
