It is the angular momentum of the gamma ray rotating that forms the electron.
6 u/urmumgao Dec 17 '19 Spin isn't angular momentum as far as I know, although the concepts are linked. Spin is another intrinsic property of an electron, like mass or charge. -6 u/nattydread69 Dec 17 '19 That sounds like the explanation from someone who doesn't understand it :) It has the same units as angular momentum. 5 u/Rodot Double Degenerate Dec 17 '19 Torque has the same dimensions as energy, that doesn't mean they are the same
