What is “spin” in particle physics?
It's not the one I was thinking of originally, but it is good.

Theory of strongly correlated systems.
Just because I can
And find it a interesting read. I'm not entirely sure how it connects but it should, in some way.

There is another more accurate description of how it works. That one builds on the probability of a spin being 'up or 'down'. It has a 50% probability any which way, and we have no way of knowing which one it will be unless we measure. The only thing you can say with certainty is that the others particles spin must be the opposite.
Now, that is close to what I imagined before, but not exactly the same to me. But the ideas defining a entanglement today, also use so called 'weak interactions/experiments' presumed to leave this wavefunction representing the 'system' of two photons alone, without destroying it. So I think me free to apply a thought up description of what I find mysterious, and so let the spin 'change instantly' for the far away particle.
It's not perfectly correct to say that it change though, as we have a 50% probability of it already being in that state. But we know that it always must fall out that way, forcing the first spin. I think that is mysterious enough for me
We have two ideas here. Weak experiments, and wave functions. We also have two ideas describing why the experiment falls out as it does. Conservation laws and 'entanglements'.
When it comes to conservation laws I automatically think of
'The Heritage Of Emmy Noether.'

This one may be more easily digested, and somewhat funnier. I especially enjoy 'because we are scientists'
Symmetries of the Laws of Physics and Noether's Theorem.
It's truly weird that she didn't get a Nobel prise for it. You could call it a definition what makes a 'relativistic container' I think? And I will have to argue my way around this, sooner or later
then again, there are more ways than one to define a universe, isn't there? In a good theory all correct descriptions should fit, no matter from where they come.

In a way I do, by defining it as you must find a local equivalence, using that as a proof for why the universe must behave equivalently in all 'points' (locally defined). If it wasn't that way the universe would be different.

So what is the meaning of life?
I don't know, do you?
To have a laugh, with some friends, before it's too late?
To come?
To kill?
What is it?

I use an idea of complexity, but that isn't about individuals.

Lost because we all need to be loved, not because we are going to revolutionize the world. Not because we have the answer to 'free energy'. Not even because we're going to leave a lot of money behind us. Just because we all need unrequited love, at some time in our life, to know that someone finds us worthy of living.
Weird stuff, isn't it?

Thinking a little, this day after
Unconditional love might be the better word here. Unrequited sounds a little too devoid of reciprocity to me, as I read myself. You should take this to heart. One should never read oneself the day after.

That is humanity.

So you don't think you can change anything, do you?
I think you can change the world.

In some weird way you could say that complexity is more than just the statistics, it's about how they become. About ideals, ethics, dreams and deeply felt needs.

My thesis here is that life is more than just a 'clock work orange'. Use blind fate, and statisitcs, when it's applicable, but involve intelligence, and the stuff that makes us believe, and I would expect the statistics to change. The coin is no longer 'fair'.

You can ignore this, but on your own peril. Because doing it should invalidate any ideas of a progress.

Very true my friend. But there is one more thing we need even more than to be loved. We need to start loving others ourselves.

It's probably so that we can't Ethos, not all, and not everywhere. And I'm not even sure that I would want it? Some individuals actions speaks against them too such a degree, think of war crimes for example. Even without this security of 'knowing love', you should still have ethics to guide you.
