A spinor in physics is a special kind of mathematical object used to describe particles that have spin, like electrons. Spin is a property of particles that’s a bit like rotation, but it works very differently from how we think about normal spinning objects. Spinors help us describe these particles’ spin behavior, especially in quantum mechanics. Key Ideas About Spinors: 1. **Describing Spin**: Some particles have **spin** (like tiny rotating tops), and spinors are used to describe their quantum
