With regard to the 'Electron Spin Number', a lot of sites mention that electrons don't really spin and that the electron spin number is just theoretical, but my chemistry teacher is quite adamant about electrons spinning about their axes in clockwise and counter-clockwise directions...

So my question stands, "Do electrons really spin?"

Also could someone cite a reliable source to read up on this (Wikipedia doesn't really count, sorry.)

With regard to the 'Electron Spin Number', lots of websites mention that electrons don't really spin and that the electron spin number has nothing to do with any physical spinning.

However, my chemistry teacher is quite adamant about electrons spinning about their axes in clockwise and counter-clockwise directions.

So my question stands, "Do electrons really spin?"

Could someone cite a reliable source to read up on this (Apart from Wikipedia, thanks)
