| - | A spinor is a mathematical object similar to a [[basic_tools:vector_calculus|vector]]. However, while a vector points in some spatial direction, like, for example, in the direction of the north pole, a spinor points in a direction in an [[advanced_tools:internal_symmetries|internal space]]. | + | A spinor is a mathematical object similar to a [[basic_tools:vector_calculus|vector]].

| A curious property of a spinor is that if you rotate it by 360° it isn't the same but get's a minus sign. Only after a rotation by 720° a spinor is again the same. In contrast a vector is completely unchanged if you rotate it by 360°. | A curious property of a spinor is that if you rotate it by 360° it isn't the same but get's a minus sign.
