What does SPINOR mean in Scrabble?
noun
technical
A mathematical object used in physics to describe particles with half-integer spin, such as electrons.
Spinors behave strangely under rotation: turning one through a full circle does not bring it back to its starting value, and only a second full turn does. That property made them necessary for describing the electron in quantum theory. The term was coined from spin, and the object is a cousin of the vector but not the same thing.
How SPINOR is used
