I have no fucking clue, and I hope someone here does

No, it’s more like “moment of inertia” as in momentum

>>15158088
More like the moments of a probability distribution function.

i don't get it
explain like i'm retarded (i am)

If you put a charged particle in a magnetic field, it will orient itself with the magnetic field. The magnetic moment is the particles susceptibility to being oriented by the field. This is analogous to angular momentum.

Moment is short for momentum. Momentum looks to be a name for the interaction/motion that occurs at what for whatever reason is called the ground state, despite the zero point energy or behavior bearing an implication that its a meta-stable state. Or its a placeholder value we use to explain why shit doesn't even out to 0.

Specifically angular momentum. Magnetic moment is derived from the constant known as Bohr Magneton, and there's something about a g factor and gynomagnetic ratio tangled in. All about the spin, that's angular momentum though.

Guess you could call it, some kind of loop of an undisclosed progression or counter.

Moment like in torque in real scientifical languages such as french, german...

>>15158088
It's a force applied over a moment arm. The longer the moment arm, the bigger the moment. It's basically just torque.

Angular momentum that is magnetic in origin. Study that shit, it's easy.

>>15158088
moment just refers to a torque or a force that tends to cause rotation i think

Shat it.
