Spin and Uncertainty in the Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics.
Hestenes, David
American Journal of Physics, v47 n5 p399-415 May 1979
Points out that quantum mechanics interpretations, using Heisenberg's Uncertainty Relations for the position and momentum of an electron, have their drawbacks. The interpretations are limited to the Schrodinger theory and fail to take into account either spin or relativity. Shows why spin cannot be ignored. (Author/GA)
