What actually is the spin of a particle?

>inb4 spinor spaces and representations of spin groups
That's just math. Tell me the physical meaning.

>inb4 intrinsic angular momentum
That's just an analogy, not the true nature of spin.

Isn't it just angular momentum?

Spin is angular momentum that can't be attributed to a classical orbit. Where does it come from? No one knows! I have some ideas on that, however. It's well known that general relativity can't conserve spin without torsion, so if you add torsion in a way that is hard to understand directly (such as torsion along chirological worldlines int he MCM unit cell), torsion effects might show up as intrinsic angular momentum not attributable to spin. GR doesn't usually tell you about torsion, but if it's there in the underbelly of things somewhere, which it has to be since we pretty much know spin is conserved, then we have a good candidate for a theoretical explanation.

Intrinsic properties of physical objects are how they respond to an external field.
>Mass says objects fall along geodesics
>Charge says objects attract or repel
>Spin says how objects move via a magnetic field
Spin is simply the directional part of the magnetic moment. The magnetic moment is how objects respond to magnetic fields (direction and magnitude)

Well whenever you take something the theory deems fundamental, you can only take it for the math it is, and maybe "explain" it by analogy.

>What actually is space? in4b a domain R^3 on which "fields" (functions) are defined. hat's just math. Tell me the physical meaning.

so scientist don't really "understand" certain things? they just trust the math? I mean sure yeah, but it's like having half the picture or something.

>>16083734
The math is what they understand it by because the math is the language with which they speak in order to explain it

Explaining it via math makes the most sense because otherwise you have no frame of reference, you need to be able to prove it some way
