ok so the electrons in magnets are in superpositioned state but they still average out to point their poles in the direction of the north and south poles of the magnets?
What happens if we measure the spins of all the electrons in the magnets from an angle that is perpendicular to the...
I understand that in the bell theorem photonic spin is in a superpoistion state until one observes it. Is that also the case with electrons? If so then how come magnets are magnets? Surely the electrons already made up their minds which way their north and south magnetic poles are pointing...
Actualy most of the internet literature indicate that although the electron's orbit does generate part of the magnetic field, a majority of the magnetic field is generated from the electron's spin not it's orbit.

I know that the electron is a point particle and does not have a rotating physical volume, that's not what I am debating here. But surely it has a north magnetic and south magnetic pole? Otherwise how do natural magnets have north and south magnetic poles too? What's their source?

Then this literature below must be wrong then?

According to this link, what ever angle u choose to look at a particle it's magnetic south pole with either point directly toward or...
I have seen that link and was reading it long time before u sent this message :(
I still don't get it... when they talk about measuring the particle from z direction is z direction any agreed upon angle? And when the particle is up does this mean the north pole of the particle is facing...
I tried to find this on google but could not find any solid answers. What is spin up and spin down? I know its something only applying to spin 1/2 particles. Does spin up mean a right hand rule spin with the magnetic north pole of the particle parallel in the direction of the thumb? Or does it...
yes i agree, i said that the 2nd experiment would probably give 0.5 ev for each electron. but i suspect that's wrong too. how many ev will the electrons and positrons gain prior to annihilation?
yeah their in space and moving toward each other. 2 clumps of oppositely charged plasma clouds speeding toward each other in 0 g vacuum. I am guessing maybe 0.5 ev is attained prior to the formation of hydrogen gas cloud?
