to different ratios of spin or speed
but the sum of their spin
and speed remains the same.

and processes of the Universe, together with the currently acceptable
methods of research, interpretation, and verification.

principle and hence Fermi-Dirac statistics. They have half-integer
spin. Among them are the fundamental fermions, those without
substructure, the quarks and the leptons.

Any interaction that, when unopposed, will change the velocity
of an object. Force can instinctively be described as a push or a pull.

gravitationalmass.
Interaction
When two or more objects act upon
each other to produce a change in their situation or condition.
Inverse Square Law (Gravitational)
(per Isaac Newton) The gravitypull between
two teels is directly proportional to the product of
their masses and inversely proportional to the square of their
separation distance. Gravitypull is always attractive and acts
along the
line joining them.
