I found that article to be very interesting. At least I was able to follow it so kuddos to the author who wrote on a complicated topic in everyday language.
It seems to show some similarities to Buddha’s teaching of impermanence and inconstancy. That sly angular motion might be the inconstancy of all matter.
There was also the reference to quantum field theory which posits that when subatomic particles interact they can create new particles and also simply disintegrate.That is very much like the Buddhist insight into the arising and passing away of matter.
And to think that without this so-called spin, a chair or all of conventional reality would simple collapse!
Reading about this was a great way to start the day.

I am glad you found it very interesting.
Scientific American has never disappointed me, any page on any topic would be enlightening.
The thinkers are astounding.
Linguistics, evolutionary psychology, and how humans could speak to aliens, even these abstract topics in that magazine would just be amazing on how their minds work so far ahead.
The electron was never a particle, but it exhibits so perfectly all the particle spin properties. That's a paradox!
Then, they realize spin properties of electrons are exhibited due to the spinning of the electric & magnetic field. So-called sub-atomic particles (electrons) were spinning electric fields. They should be called sub-atomic fields than particles, the word particle is a misnomer. How revealing!
By the way, all electricity working in our home or anywhere is due to these electric fields, particles were a decent approximation and could work well in the calculation but in reality, electricity behaves purely as a field than as a particle.
