The term "electron spin" is not to be taken literally in the classical sense as a description of the origin of the magnetic moment described above. To be sure, a spinning sphere of charge can produce a magnetic moment, but the magnitude of the magnetic moment obtained above cannot be reasonably modeled by considering the electron as a spinning sphere.

That explains why they hired Haramein as a disinfo agent then, he's doing a pretty good job at making us think he's crazy. I guess he's earning that disinfo paycheck.edit on 16-3-2011 by Arbitrageur because: clarification
That link also says electrons don't spin:

its so easy to deduce that electrons have a spin,to say that all other particles spin but electrons dont and instead they have a magnetic moment is rediculous,magentism is governed by spin.
To summarize, in bullet-point form:
* Electrons are not literally spinning balls of charge, but they do have intrinsic angular momentum.
You should be publishing your own papers and helping all these guys along who are light-years behind you, who think the electron doesn't really spin.

I'm not sure I understand your question, but I'll respond with a few comments and see if it can help clarify what you're after with this line of thought.

This has really been bugging me, as it seems to me that more research on this path of thinking would lead to an actual unification of gravity and electromagnetism, which would in turn lead to a unified theory.
The term was coined by Einstein, who attempted to unify the general theory of relativity with electromagnetism, hoping to recover an approximation for quantum theory.
Do you see the word that's missing from that description of special relativity?
The theory of special relativity plays an important role in the modern theory of classical electromagnetism. First of all, it gives formulas for how electromagnetic objects, in particular the electric and magnetic fields, are altered under a Lorentz transformation from one inertial frame of reference to another. Secondly, it sheds light on the relationship between electricity and magnetism, showing that frame of reference determines if an observation follows electrostatic or magnetic laws. Third, it motivates a compact and convenient notation for the laws of electromagnetism, namely the "manifestly covariant" tensor form.

* Spin angular momentum is real angular momentum.
* The angular momentum of a spin-1/2 particle like an electron is never zero.
* Rotating the spin of a spin-1/2 particle by 360 degrees doesn't get you exactly the state you started with, in the same way that the climb-and-flip game doesn't get your toddler back exactly the state she started in. * This spin rotation property is one of the weirdest but most important features of the quantum theory of fundamental particles.
* SteelyKid is the cutest toddler in the universe.
So that's your interpretation of "Electrons are not literally spinning", that they are literally spinning?

Since Here it goes mentioned magnetism, I want to take the time to ask Arb about something I found out.(But later realized it has already been found out previously.)

It has been experimentally proven that an electron has a magnetic field about it along with an electric field. The effectiveness of the magnetic field of an atom is determined by the number of electrons spinning in each direction. If an atom has equal numbers of electrons spinning in opposite directions, the magnetic fields surrounding the electrons cancel one another, and the atom is unmagnetized. However, if more electrons spin in one direction than another, the atom is magnetized. An atom with an atomic number of 26, such as iron, has 26 protons in the nucleus and 26 revolving electrons orbiting its nucleus. If 13 electrons are spinning in a clockwise direction and 13 electrons are spinning in a counterclockwise direction, the opposing magnetic fields will be neutralized. When more than 13 electrons spin in either direction, the atom is magnetized. An example of a magnetized atom of iron is shown in figure 1-12.

Spin truly is based on the illogical ridiculous idea that the atom must be using 2 planes of spin which have no reason for their existence , just like kaku's m theory has no reason for the p and d branes to exist.
Both theories and even appendage theories people have made up like vortex theory originally based on plasma physics in 1980 yet re invented by many, all of these truly have no meaning when geometry applies to atoms attempting any real field unifications.. that is if you want to use logic, which I do.
Now I've found the key to unification, but it's just parameters under projective geometry, but know that projective is the root of all geometries and therefore can have no fault when attempting any explanation of space/time.
Well I could go on for hours there, but in summary I have videos on this on youtube , my channel is mikefromspace. It's easier to tell you that than go into how there was no big bang , what cmbr red shift really is caused from , etc...etc...
but I'll just say one thing; spin/string tension/ photons, it's all replaced by particles that fill all space. The power of motion comes from black holes which eat and make all particles. Strong and weak forces cycle as monopoles inside the carrier wave of the atom as a whole. Each force cycles at a frequency that gives it it's own light, etc... etc...
peace out
Faster than that, which HeresHowItGoes would know if he read his own links:

As you may know, electrons are point particles.
For them to spin they have to be rotating, for it to be rotating it has to be rotating on a point on the electron. This implies that electrons have a finite radius. But this isn't true, an electron has been shown to be a point particle.
Also if an electron wasn't a point particle it would have to be spinning at the speed of light.

note: several times the speed of light.
If we want to say that the magnetic moment of the electron is due to the motion of a spinning ball of charge, then we can easily calculate what the spin rate should be, given what we know about the size of an electron. If you use the maximum size you could possibly associate with the electron, the "classical electron radius", and calculate how fast a sphere of that size would need to be spinning to produce the observed magnetic moment, you find that a point on the surface would need to be moving at a speed several times the speed of light in vacuum, which is impossible. That's also a gross overestimate of the size of an electron-- as far as well can tell, the electron has no physical size. It's a point particle, and thus doesn't have a surface that can be physically rotating.

electrons are not point particles they are disks,this view of them being point particles comes from quantum mechanics which if you believe youve already lost the argument.
Originally posted by HeresHowItGoes
if electrons were point particles they would hardly interact with each other as they would have limited dimensions with which to do so.a true point particle is the neutrino,and notice how it hardly interacts as it lacks physical dimensions.

since light is made of up of electrons there is no probelm with an electron spinning at the speed of light as it is light,but anyway if you perscribe to relativity then youve lost again,pions,singularities,quarks all travel faster than an electron.

there is nothing special with an electrons speed,no fundemenetal law that makes the electrons speed special,its just another particle,to say no other particle can travel faster than an electron is bogus,some do they really do.

if an electron is a point particle why then does it have mass enough to warp space time extensively?
argument won electrons do warp space time extensively thus have mass and dimensions.
