I indicated above what the uncertainty in momenta is with       measurement, and since the z-component of spin is projected along the       momentum the above uncertainty in angle will pertain to the spin of the       electron.              LC              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
