Here is a discussion with Copilot AI re the possibility that a Photon is a type of Gyroscope.

GIGO
https://www.researchgate.net/publication/327365074_Spin_and_orbital_angular_momentum_of_photons
We consider the separation of the total angular momentum of the electromagnetic field into a "spin" and an "orbital" part. Though this separation is normally considered to be unphysical and not observable, we argue that both members in the separation are separately measurable quantities.
However, the commutation relations for the associated quantum operators reveal that neither of them is an angular-momentum operator.
