Spin (novel)

Spin is a science fiction novel by American-Canadian writer Robert Charles Wilson. It was published in 2005 and won the Hugo Award for Best Novel in 2006. It is the first book in the Spin trilogy, with Axis (the second) published in 2007 and Vortex published in July 2011. In January 2015, Syfy announced it was developing a six-hour miniseries based on the book. (Wikipedia).

Spin Art... centripetal force..."centrifugal" force // Homemade Science with Bruce Yeany

Spin art has been a popular device in the arts and science over the years. It is rather simple, spin a piece of paper at high speeds, splash some paints on it and then stop it and admire the results. It can be a nice piece to start a discussion on the application of centripetal forces,

You've Heard of SPIN - But How Is it Encoded in the Math of Quantum Physics? Parth G

The concept of Spin is hard, but the mathematics is actually quite simple! In this video I wanted to take a look at how we build up our mathematical representation (or at least one of them) of quantum mechanical spin. To do this, we'll start by looking at the spin of an electron, and unde
