The picture depicts the long-range spin-spin interaction (blue wavy lines) in which the spin-sensitive detector on Earth?s surface interacts with geoelectrons (red dots) deep in Earth?s mantle. The arrows on the geoelectrons indicate their spin orientations, opposite that of Earth?s […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
This image shows a computer simulation of the polarized electron-spin density on a plane that contains the Earth’s rotational axis and Amherst, Massachusetts. The black arrows indicate only the direction of the electron spins, while the coloured shading of the […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
