I've been wondering about this for a while, and was wondering if anyone else thought about the idea.
In quantum physics, spin is often thought of as inherent to a particle in it's own sake (for lack of a better term). In fact, when examining the Standard Model, it is the only characteristic of a particle not directly given to it by a corresponding gauge boson (charge, color, and mass all being given by the photon, gluon, and higgs, respectively....W and Z, are...well, they're on their own, a mix of all three in their interactions, tbh). What if spin was thought of as yet another fundamental force? And that spin imparted on a particle was the result of interaction with a spin gauge boson? And part of a larger fundamental spin field. And for example, "spin up" and "spin down" are the two different "spin charges" that the field can impart. For example it would be a good way to define charge-spin separation. The particle would separate into two particles, each interacting with either a spin or electromagnetic force gauge boson. Is the existence of a spin boson already dis-proven, and if not, what sort of experiments could be done to discover it? I'd imagine it would probably be massively high energies, as I'm sure quantum states, and a means to separate them (thus spin), was the first quantization after the Big Bang. Also a thought on the higgs: Would one expect to find a form of CP Violation in it? If found in a form that matches the calculations, it will be the second massive boson discovered (the first being the W/Z bosons). Now, my theory of CP Violation in that it results from the relative angular momentum of the boson vs. the particle it is interacting with (as it is traveling at less than C, it's own motion and spin relative to the particle it is interacting with matters, but the other two [photon and gluon] does not matter as they travel at C). As the higgs would also be traveling at less than C, wouldn't it's own spin and motion relative to left or right handed particles it is interacting with also come into play. Yes, I love particle physics.
