| In A Brief History
of Time (1988) Stephen Hawking was careful to deal with
particle “spin” in a circumspect manner. He said particles could
be imagined as tiny tops spinning around an axis. But he noted also
that quantum mechanics contradicts that picture when it declares that
spinning particles display no distinct axis.
Many other commentaries in the literature reveal, as mentioned earlier, that in some experiments the electron does display an axis of orientation, "up" or "down", while in other instances it does not. This has left observers with very little to say except that sometimes particles show "orientation in every direction" or in "no direction" that is observable. Even for an alert passerby reading this sort of thing, the word mystery tends to come to mind. The Basic metaparticle structure explains cases where orientation is found (spin vector for short). Its two point-poles supply the particle's rotation around their primary axis in Fig. 8. The six steps supply an exact causative sequence for the second, "greater pole's" reality: Two points are mandated by the most encompassing metaphysical and natural laws. But it is the double rotation, beginning when the dynamic disk-form takes on a "rollover spin" (on axis 2 - 2a), that solves the mystery in those instances of measurement when no spin vector can be determined. As mentioned earlier, this secondary rotation corresponds to the phenomenon known as gyroscopic precession.

It is a major contention of the Metaparticle Theory that the electron and other fermions possess the innate ability to assume an Augmented form caused by secondary rotation. This ability results from the gyroscopic force long recognized in "spinning" particles. I must add that it has occurred to me, in connection with the spherical form, that nature ordinarily needs better reason for the behavior of a particle than merely being able to account for its own mystery of disappearing spin orientation. But Perella & Bueker are highly under-equipped experimenters. All I am able to offer as a hypothesis is that a particle can go into its spherical phase - perhaps spontaneously as well as from exterior cause - in order to remain static in space. So I can only submit that a particle's ability to transform itself from disk to sphere and back offers the simplest way to settle the above contradiction between quantum mechanics and experiment. I also predict the same
phenomenon will prove to be a
key element in explaining and understanding
many other instances of particle
behavior.
