One of my projects was the Physics Quote of the Day (#pqotd), gathering quotes of phyicists or physics related scientists on their birthday. Here's a resume (still in progress):
Link to all posts with physics quotes.
I also started to make videos:
April 30: Carl Friedrich Gauss quotes
May 1: Gersh Budker quotes
May 2: Sumio Iijima quotes
The author
- Arjen Dijksman
- Paris, France
- I graduated in 1991 at Delft University of Technology in the field of Applied Physics Engineering. My research work concerned light atom thermal desorption from radiation defects in fusion reactor confinement materials. I work as IT Project Manager but keep an active interest in foundational issues of physics. 2013, I graduated as PhD on a thesis about the spectroscopy of colloidal quantum dots at ESPCI Physics and Chemistry School in Paris, speciality Colloidal Quantum Dots.

Modeling the electron with a spinning vector
An arrow has two rotational freedoms. 1st rotation about symmetry axis, 2nd rotation of symmetry axis about a fixed axis. Adjusting angle between both axes and spinning velocities, one finds stable spinning modes. Picture shows angle = 45° and angular velocities ratio = -1/2.
