    There is the famous “belt trick”, plus this PBS Spacetime really explains it well!

    All macroscopic examples of spinor involve an object attached to the exterior world. Electrons having spin 1/2 therefore imply that they don’t exist “by themselves” and are embedded in a larger field.

    I’m not sure whether that would be the electron field of the electromagnetic field, or maybe all of the fields?
