Why Bosons have integer spins?

06 June 2016 0 8K Report

This might be a very naive question but I really don't have a proper answer. Why Bosons have integer spins while Fermions have half-integer spins?

Why the anti-commutation of gamma matrices give a flat metric?

We know that ${\gamma_{mu},\gamma_{nu}}$= 2 $g_{\mu\nu}$, where $g_{\mu\nu}$ is the flat metric . That shows spinors are someway related to the metric of space. Can anyone please explain how?
