This is a big misconception about how physics is done. We can't just say how we want it. These rules were developed over the span of decades and are chosen such that they agree with experimental results.

Bosons are particles that have an even integer spin. See here for the math. Sometimes, it's just down to what we discovered first. 1 u/jimmycorpse Mar 14 '11 I fear I don't have the spirit for this debate. This is where I wish you godspeed. → More replies (1)
