Particles have a quantized spin (their own angular momentum) and leptons such as electrons and muons always have \(J_z = \pm \hbar /2\). Yes, the electrons are spinning and it is other ideas than that which you need to modify (you need to switch from classical physics to quantum mechanics). They also carry an electric charge, \(-e\), which is effectively orbiting around the center of mass at the radius comparable a "typical dimension of the particle" (which is inversely proportional to the particle mass) and therefore creates an electric current.

Cheryl K. Chumley, null - 11 hours ago

According to a report in The New York Times, individuals who show a Green Pass — the government’s downloadable special OK for the vaccinated — can stay in hotels, dine inside restaurants, attend events of mass gatherin...

Make No Mistake. Russia Considers Any Incoming Missile to Be Nuclear
Peter Suciu, The National Interest - 13 hours ago
*Peter Suciu* *Missiles, * And they consider any such attack to be grounds to retalliate proportionately. *Here's What You Need to Remember:* High-ranking Russian military leaders are on the record saying that there is no way for their military to determine if an incoming ballistic missile is in fact fitted with a nuclear or conventional warhead. Last week Russian military leaders told the nation's official military newspaper* Krasnaya Zvezda* (Red Star) that any ballistic missile launched at its territory would be perceived as a nuclear attack and that Russia would retaliate ...
Why F-22 Raptors Never Flew From U.S. Navy Aircraft Carriers
Alex Hollings, The National Interest - 13 hours ago
*Alex Hollings* *F-22 Raptor, * In order to make the F-22 suitable for carrier duty, Lockheed Martin would have had to incorporate a number of significant changes to the F-22’s design America’s F-22 Raptor is widely touted as the most capable air superiority fighter on the planet, thanks to a combination of stealth, speed, and maneuverability. It makes sense, then, that Congress pressed the U.S. Navy to consider fielding a slightly different iteration of the Raptor for duty aboard its Nimitz-class supercarriers back in the early ’90s.

*Ethen Kim Lieser* *Stimulus Check, * Amid the rush to get the stimulus money quickly out to those most affected by the ongoing pandemic, there reportedly have been some instances of recipients getting much less than what they were expecting. It appears that the Internal Revenue Service and U.S. Treasury have made good on their promise to ramp up efforts to provide much-needed cash to millions of financially struggling Americans.

Just How Dangerous Is Iran's Submarine Fleet?
Sebastien Roblin, The National Interest - 13 hours ago
*Sebastien Roblin* *Submarines, Middle East* New Iranian boats may remain far from cutting edge, but they could still prove dangerous in the confined waters of the Persian Gulf. *Here's What You Need to Know*: Tehran is investing long-term efforts into becoming a self-sufficient military power. The Iranian military has long planned for a defensive naval war in the Persian Gulf, in which it would leverage its large fleet of fast attack boats toting antiship missiles to launch swarming hit-and-run attacks on adversaries in along Persian Gulf, with the ultimate goal of shutting down...
This $2.9 Billion Dollar Submarine Nearly Sank. But Combat Had Nothing to Do With It.
Peter Suciu, The National Interest - 13 hours ago
*Peter Suciu* *Submarines, * The moral of the story is simple: Don't leave a hatch open. *Here’s What You Need to Remember: *As mishaps go the Arihant may have been among the more embarrassing but at least it didn’t result in the loss of life. During the Cold War, the Soviet Navy suffered a number of submarine accidents, with many being due to fires; while one particular accident involving the K-431 was later revealed to be due to mishandling of the boat’s nuclear rods, which were lifted too high into the air. That resulted in a reactor achieving critical mass, followed by a c...
Why Does the F-35 Stealth Fighter Need a Gun? Ask the History Books
Peter Suciu, The National Interest - 13 hours ago
*Peter Suciu* *F-35, * Aren't the advanced missiles and bombs that the F-35 can carry enough for any possible mission? *Here's What You Need to Remember: *When U.S. aviators came up against MiG-19 and MiG-21 they found they wished they had some guns for the close-in fighting, and later models of the Phantom II were armed accordingly. The Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II Joint Strike Fighter has been described as one of the most advanced combat systems in service anywhere in the world. In addition to its stealth capabilities, the all-weather, multirole, fifth-generation aircra...

The Pitfalls of Liberty
Unknown, The Conservative Socrates - 14 hours ago
Liberty can open the right doors, but it can open some of the wrong ones too. When a man is liberated from the bondage of political systems, he is free to play an active role in society. But liberty never keeps itself confined to cutting the bonds of politics, it operates simultaneously in the areas of morality and culture. When the bonds of morality are cut, there is the prospect of amoralism and libertinism; when the bonds of culture are cut, there is the prospect of utopianism and nihilism. A man who is free of political, moral, and cultural bonds is left to face the world on hi...
