we normally experience only spatial degrees of freedom as a 3D vector [math] \left[ \begin{matrix} x\\ y\\ z\\ \end{matrix} \right] \in R^3 [/math]. These rotate by any rotation matrix in SO(3), like how rotating about the z axis by an angle theta would be
[math]
\left[ \begin{matrix} \cos\theta & -\sin\theta & 0 \\ \sin\theta & \cos\theta & 0\\ 0 & 0 & 1\\ \end{matrix} \right] \left[ \begin{matrix} x\\ y\\ z\\ \end{matrix} \right]
= e^{g\theta} \left[ \begin{matrix} x\\ y\\ z\\ \end{matrix} \right]
= e^{\theta \left[ \begin{matrix} 0 & -1 & 0\\ 1 & 0 & 0\\ 0 & 0 & 0 \end{matrix} \right]}
\left[ \begin{matrix} x\\ y\\ z\\ \end{matrix} \right]
[/math]

For spin, there exists some extra degrees of freedom that looks like a 2D vector with extra rules called a spinor where
[math] \left[ \begin{matrix} u \\ d \end{matrix} \right] \in CP^1 [/math] , but to rotate this object, you use an SU(2) matrix instead of SO(2), so a rotation around any general unit axis [math] \hat{n} [/math] is like {sorry no more typing room} or if rotating about the z axis, then [math]
e^{ -i \left[ \begin{matrix} 1 & 0 \\ 0 & -1 \end{matrix} \right]_{= \sigma_z} \tfrac{\theta}{2} }
\left[ \begin{matrix} u \\ d \end{matrix} \right]
= \left[ \begin{matrix} e^{ -i\tfrac{\theta}{2} } & 0 \\ 0 & e^{ i\tfrac{\theta}{2} } \end{matrix} \right]
\left[ \begin{matrix} u \\ d \end{matrix} \right]
[/math]

So the overall object is [math] \left[ \begin{matrix} x \\ y \\ z \end{matrix} \right] \otimes \left[ \begin{matrix} u \\ d \end{matrix} \right] = \vec{r} \otimes \vec{s} [/math] but actually you have to work with the wavefunction to get a distribution for position so it's more [math] \psi(\vec{r}) \left[ \begin{matrix} u \\ d \end{matrix} \right] [/math], and to rotate this entire object about the z-axis by theta, you get [math] \psi(e^{-g\theta}\vec{r})\ e^{- \tfrac{i\sigma_z}{2} \theta} \vec{s} [/math]
(the minus is cause in functions you know how x-a moves f(x) up by +a)

>>17067986
A bloch sphere is a good way to visualize this. You often think stuff like "what's rotating" or "is there some circle to understand this", and yeah. Imagine a unit circle. Spin 1/2 up = [1,0] = [u,d] and is represented by the coordinate on the unit circle as (x,y) = (0,1) and spin 1/2 down = [0,1] = [u,d] which is (x,y) = (0,-1). But in this case, spin up and spin down are orthogonal to each other! But, we tend to think orthogonal as 90 degrees - here orthogonal means 180 degrees! But also, when you do a 360 degree, you actually get a -1 multiplied to you, meaning you gotta go ANOTHER 360 to get back to the same math state vector.

This sort of extra dimension is how you can visualize the intrinsic angular momentum, cause you can only move around the bloch sphere and stay total spin 1/2

>{sorry no more typing room}
since I have room now
[math]
e^{ -i \left[ \begin{matrix} n_z & n_x - in_y \\ n_x + in_y & - n_z \end{matrix} \right] \tfrac{\theta}{2} }
\left[ \begin{matrix} u \\ d \end{matrix} \right]
[/math]

What if we built a giant laser the size of a 30 story building and pointed it at a black hole. Couldn’t we be able to look at the observable universe and see where the light comes out of?

That assumes the light comes out of the observable universe so first we need to expand to observe the whole universe. Maybe Elon could send more cameras into space instead of LEO satellites that pollute the internet with jeets.

Christian men create good times with the help of God.
Good times create scientists via self-indulgence, money and arrogance.
Scientists create bad times via materialism, "enlightenment", anti-white self-hate and greed.
Bad times create Christian men via a desire for something transcendental which leads to a reconciliation with God.

Cheap global communications has eliminated most of the market for supersonic long range flights. I've been on a seventeen and a half hour long flight. It sucks but it's not very often that people need to be on an airplane for that long. Supersonic is a niche. Maybe Elon Musk won't be wrong about Starship and eventually it will be a replacement for that niche, allowing rapid site to site transit on Earth via suborbital flight.

That's a lot of AI slop to say "there's more traffic in the sky because of all the browns the government is importing"
