UncleAl Posted August 9, 2005 Report Posted August 9, 2005 Forces are bosonic, integral spin, and add. Matter is fermionic, half-integral spin, and stacks. State transitions obey (and violate to various degrees, e.g., radioactive isomeric states) selection rules including spin. Spin gets you magnetism. Quote
Little Bang Posted August 9, 2005 Author Report Posted August 9, 2005 Thanks Unc, I did not know that especially about spin and magnetism. Do you know of a link that I can go to on it? Quote
