I didnt express any emotion in my post, I dont see how you could perceive my attitude as being pissed off.
Never seen that movie, is it about physics?

probability clouds..... while it isnt pinpoint accurate, there is still prediction of movement.
Also, that is one thing that always fucked me up in regards to QM.... quantum spin. I never could grasp how one full rotation is actually 1 and a half 360's.

I am saying that sub-atomic particles are predictable but that you can never make an exact prediction because the notion of "exact" does not work on a quantum level.
As for quarks...yes you can certainly predict how they will move because there is no such thing as a single quark - at least not at any energy level you are likely to come across. Quarks always come in groups as other particles - like the 3 quarks in each proton or neutron. If you tried to split two quarks apart, you would find that by the time you got them twice as far apart as they are normally you would have added so much energy to the system that you would "create" two new quarks and end up with two separate groups of quarks (though one will be a quark/anti-quark pair and thus will soon annihilate).
Because you can't see individual quarks it is pointless to talk about predicting how an individual quark will move. Predicting how groups of quarks - like protons and neutrons - will move is certainly possible.

well, calling me a kid, and assuming I am a spelling Nazi might have given me that notion.

Then maybe you should stop being so fragile. 
And you are a spelling nazi if you choose to refute the meaning of a post of several paragraphs because of a single grammatical error.

what meaning? it was regurgitating data in the hopes that people would admire your false fecundity on the matter, and rather than rip you a new one, I decided to be jovial about it.

...being jovial by offering something completely irrelevant to the discussion?
I posted to add my knowledge to the discussion, and my thoughts on the subatomic realm. I have no interest of impressing anyone on an internet message board. You dont know my true intent, nor have you offered anything besides a movie reference to 'rip me a new one'.

Well, the title of the thread is in regards to what QP means to you, your post was merely a regurgitation of datum, thusforth, ipso facto, ergo, henceforth it wasnt even an argument, nor really a discussion.... but frankly Im tired of arguing the semantics of your posting blunders in this thread.....
ok.... so, does anyone have any insights regarding the quantum spin, and why 360 degrees isnt one full rotation?

Regurgitation of my readings? No, my post was my own take on the information I've read, an add to the discussion.
If you dont want to have meaningless discussions, then you can start with halting of accusing people of spelling errors.

an accusation is much like an unknown probability of guilt.... your poor grammar is evident and not in the realm of possibly being wrong.... it was wrong, thusforth, it wasnt an accusation, but more like pointing out the obvious.

No one's debating the existence of the word - what I'm saying is that it's pointless to point it out. Even though you keep using it sarcastically, you know it's exact meaning, so to point out something so irrelevant is just a distraction to the discussion. And that's why you shouldnt get all uppety about being called a spelling nazi - you are one!

I used to think that "centrifical" (force) was a word....
Then yesterday I looked on google just to make sure I spelled it right, and found a website stating that it wasn't a real word....!? I was like, "WTF....?" It **SEEMS** like I have heard that word all of my life....!?
So, I then got on with my life, swiped off the dust, and now use the word "centrifugal" (force) instead.... 
(it was the right thing to do in a rain storm with no clouds...!?)

Exactly. If the end justifies the means, nobody gives a fuck of the existance or non-existance of an adverb used.

The end doesn't justify the means. I can barely comprehend exactly how it is that using words that don't actually exist accomplishes anything, beyond that of others pointing it out and causing the person who created the word out of thin air to continue to react in a disrupting manner as a result. 
One must realize that, to others who are following a post, the sudden appearance of a word that has never before been encountered is suitable grounds for the one reading the post to comment on it in a joking manner. 
If one is truly interested in continuing discussion on the topic at hand, then one would be so inclined to realize that it is not an issue that one should take offense from, and simply drop it and continue forth with more on-topic discussion.
Thusforth, shut up and discuss quantum mechanics. 
 Peace.

Pay attention to my first response to psilocyberin, and you'll see that it's not one of anger, but of complete indifference. He chose to carry on the discussion, so I just showed him his own flaw with his own words. If you dont want to discuss it, then stop posting.
