Okay... thanks for the links. Will read them.

... Wha?! I completely did not understand anything from that

And, I don't really need the details, such as the electron wavepacket is smaller than somethingsomething. It doesn't help me much in understanding how the pairs work to completely conserve energy, and I consider it added details, of which I will get to after I understand the fundamentals...

As in the title, I said I understood how the pairs actually form. From the replies, I understand that these electron pairs aren't actually stuck together. Ok, but it isn't really much. Is there a more descriptive picture of what is the pair exactly? Furthermore, if I'm not wrong, for the pair...

I have read them. Topics and subsequent replies deal with what particles have what spin, and why they have that particular spin value. None of them actually asks the question : what is spin.

I asked about superconductors in another paost, and what I got was how superconductivity is achieved, and how electrons are attracted together via interactions with atomic nuclei. My question is, what exactly is a cooper pair? To me, when I think of the word pair, I immediately imagine the...

OK from what I understand, the question here is why light from the sun doesn't just magically appear on Earth after it is emmited, since it's moving at the speed of light, yes? The thing is, time dilation occurs for only the photon, and not for the observers on Earth looking at the photon. If a...

E.g. electrons. From other posts and Wikipedia, it apparently isn't the speed at which the particles rotate, so what the heck is it?

Wow QQ that's going to be a lot of reading material ^^ thank you!

Electricity has been a mysterious entity plaguing my mind since last year when I learned about it in class. I am unable to understand why electrons move the way they do when a circuit is formed, nor what is the driving force to make them do so (which is voltage difference, and I don't understand...

Wanted to ask the same thing. The question is what exactly IS this mysterious thing called spin? Answers above only state what are the spin values of different particles, not what this "spin" is, or WHY these particles have such spin values.
