An amazing 3 dimensional spacial experiment
It has been postulated by many physicists and mathematicians that the primary atomic 'particles' have an attribute called 'spin'.
We now know that there are no particles, only quantum waves in space itself (see Milo Wolff). Now Milo Wolff tells us that the waves are in the fabric of space itself and at the centre of the electron and positron, space is twisted or spun.
How can you spin a three dimensional substance without getting it all knotted up?
Well, let's try it.
Get some thin wooden struts all the same length, say about 15cm long and build yourself a cube.
The way I did it was to use cotton thread to tie the ends together and then you can glue the bits of wood together as well. Use a good strong glue, eg. 5 minute epoxy.
Get some rubber bands and cut them once each to form rubber 'strings'. You'll need at least 6.
Get a small light ball made of say of plastic foam or wood or cork and using your rubber 'strings' suspend the ball in the middle of your cube by attaching the ball between two opposite corners of your cube.
Do this with 3 sets of opposite corners (to represent 3 dimensional constraints).
Now for the big test!
With your ball now connected in 6 places to 3 sets of opposite corners, spin the ball!
What happens?
Apparently if you spin the ball 360 degrees amazingly, the whole contraption will return exactly to the position it was before you began.
The rubber bands will not get twisted!
Wow!
3 dimensional space has this amazing quality of allowing the electron and positron to spin without disturbing the fabric of space!
Astonishing isn't it?
And apparently it only happens in 3 dimensions.
If you have more it just don't work!
Hmmmmmm!
