Spin is related to the actual TIME we have the ability to say: "Hey there is a "particle" here and now." Once that particular spin changes in angle [during its trajectory] we may loose it or keep watching it and that "thing" we recite from official books as a "given phenomenon" with no plausible justification is what we call "spin."
Spin is [as I see it] the physical manifestation of a physical occurance called "standing waves." If two waves interact each other in space they will produce a phenomenon called interference... after all they are waves and waves have the ability to behave in a different way than "compact particles of the macroworld."
Now imagine that instead of looking at a stationary process of the making of standing waves in a fixed point in space we were looking progressively as two interacting waves move across space producing intermitently the same effect described above...
Think of this it couldn't be easier for all of you:
All waves carrying some degree of energy are said to "move" at "c" right? ok.
If two or more waves were moving in the same direction and on top of all that being somehow "physically attached" which in the official language means "entangled" >>> couldn't be possible to state that "those particles" observed as the result could have a weird existence?
The latest researches in neutrino have confirmed the existence of a unexplained phenomenon called "oscillation."
It means that the ACTUAL existence of those "particles," once predicted by Pauli in the past while trying to understand how netron's decay, have the ability to "change their identity" as the [complex] wave goes on.
Half spin means logically half of "something" that gives us the reassurance of the existence of a piece of "matter." [we chose to call "particles"]
I do not believe in half terms anyway. We humans tend to assume that if something is said to be contained in a unit of space that thing could and must be divided in two halves to make sense... nonsense!
A magnetic pole is the resulting amplification of a standing wave process of integration at atomic and molecular level. You must have both poles since spin means a trajectory that always returns to the same starting point... can you see it?
Is it possible to "mask" one phase of spin? Of course it is! Molecules do that all the time. Once a bond between two atoms is stable there is no further need for that specific atom to "search" for other bonds... unless there was a chance to achieve a better stability while chosing another "partner."
This is what chemistry is all about. A permanent adjustement of stability between unstable bonds. All matter is at some point unstable and prompt to change bonds as needed. The instability is part of the nature of matter itself. Since for me matter is nothing but the manifestation of bonding energies and the resulting interactions [standing waves of colliding high energies] there is no possible way to obtain a perfect couppling between two atoms in a bond. The vibration observed in every single atom is due to the internal nature of matter and its spinning or cyclical instability.
When I speak of instability I'm reffering to the nature of the spin itself and not about the presence of elements on nature... do not misunderstand me.
To make a simple example of what I'm saying:
If you make a magnet to rotate of simply move across a wire you will obtain a flow of current. For a static magnet current will be zero. Atoms act the same way. it is their vibration what allows them to "feel" the needed attraction allowing them to bond and stay that way...
Anyway... It sounds simple but it's not I guess.
