Abstract: The origins of quantum theory lie in a failure to explain certain phenomena using classical theory. But despite its adoption, quantum theory abounds with concepts described as “weird” or “spooky.” Even Feynman said that no one understands quantum theory. We revisit the Stern-Gerlach experiment that gave rise to the concept of spin and its quantization from a classical point of view. We present a simplified model of the classical electron which has two stable states which separate into two beams in the presence of an inhomogenous magnetic field.
