Summary
In this paper a hypothesis about spins of elementary particles is put forward which is ideologically based on the classical interpretation of spin. It states that the spins of elementary particles are not universal properties of matter, but they are the result of the mutual interaction of particles and fields. A concrete model for the spins of elementary particles based on the results of the previous paper of the author is proposed and its physical appropriateness is examined. Some consequences of the classical treatment of the spin are indicated.
Riassunto
In questo articolo si formula un’ipotesi circa gli spin delle particelle elementari che è basata ideologicamente sull’interpretazione classica di spin, che afferma che gli spin delle particelle elementari non sono proprietà universali della materia, ma sono il risultato di una mutua interazione di particelle e campi. Si propone un modello concreto per gli spin delle particelle elementari basato sui risultati di un precedente lavoro dell’autore e si esamina la sua plausibilità dal punto di vista fisico. Si indicano alcune conseguenze del modo classico di trattare lo spin.
Реэюме
В зтой статье выдвигается гипотеэа о спинах злементарных частиц, которая идеологически основана на классической интерпретации спина. Утверждается, что спины злементарных частиц не являются универсальными свойствами материи, а являются реэультатами вэаимодействия частиц и полей. Предлагается конкретная модель для спинов злементарных частиц, основанная на реэультатах предыдушей работы автора. Обсуждаются фиэические следствия зтой модели. Отмечаются некоторые следствия классической интерпретации спина.
