Dear All,

An electron has an intrinsic spin magnetic dipole moment, and nothing is actually spinning!

The spin magnetic dipole moment, is approximately equal to a μB Bohr magneton.

Classical Electrodynamics can not explain this and therefore Quantum Electrodynamics comes the rescue... Did it?

How is the spin magnetic dipole moment created in an electron?

I am afraid without admitting that the electron IS A DIPOLE MAGNET and also that we don't really know yet, what magnetism is? There can be no any solution to my question here.

Kind Regards,

Just a bit of history.

The name spin magnetic dipole moment (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron_magnetic_moment) was given due to the initial attempt to explain the rest magnetic dipole moment of the electron using the initial assumed spin of the electron which is not real, around it axis (like a planet spin) and since then we are stuck with this name.

The electron is not physically spinning.

Besides this theoretical model was resulting in a spin velocity with speed greater than the speed of light ! The theoretical calculation of the rest magnetic dipole moment came out short by a factor of 2!! (i.e. x2 less than that was found experimentally).

In order to rectify this "small error" hahahaha! :) a dimensionless correction g-factor about x2 was forced into the equation to match theoretical calculations with experimental data.

This alone tells me that their schizophrennic sphere electron electric monopole - magnetic dipole model is not working in this case and there is a gap in the theory in general and they don't have a clue what the electron really is and their model does not translates to the physical 100% correct and so also for electricity and magnetism.
