What will happen if we change the rotational direction and spinning movement of particle to other directions e.g., clockwise, anti clock wise, down, up, forward, behind etc.
How such changes can be possible practically? if not then what are the limitations?
Does it change any of Functional, Behavioural & Structural properties of particle?
Dose the rotational & spinning speed effect the magnitude of charges/fields as well?
Might be a close example, case study can be different aspects of two entangled particles.
What you suggests.
Thanks
According to the present understanding, the spin of a particle is the intrinsic property of the particle and is not related to the rotation in the ordinary space. Therefore, we cannot change its direction relative to the direction of motion of the particle by any method. However, Bruce A. Schumm writes on page 187 of his book, "Deep Down Things: The Breathtaking Beauty of Particle Physics" (The John Hopkins University Press, Baltimore & London, 2004), as follows:
"The question of the origin of quantum-mechanical spin and the nature of spin-space is a conundrum that physicists have yet to solve."
So, your question of changing the direction of spin relative to the direction of the velocity of a particle might have meaning someday.
Hi Raja,
your question made me think of two more:
our magnetic field allegedly shifted more than once. while i doubt our direction of rotation changed, the asteroid impact/s may have changed the rate, and altered the shape of the Earth, is there a known relationship between the impact, our rotation, shape, and the change in magnetic field?
The other is do whirlpools.. south of the equator rotate in the opposite direction as those North of it? if so and no practical consequences on the way nature functions perhaps a clue to the OP question.
Dear Roger M. Pearlman CTA
Thanks for your nice contribution.
Yes, you are right, there are many phenomenon related by the rotational and spinning activity and direction can be one of the triggering factor. Hope unveiling of its functional role will lead toward many beneficial results.
Regards,
