Abstract

One of the more difficult Quantum Theory concepts to accept is Space Quantization of free electron angular momentum. Statistical analysis shows that when Polarized Free Electrons pass through a Homogeneous Magnetic Field, Quantum Theory predicts that they deliver a specific amount of Total Net Angular Momentum in the direction of the Magnetic Field. Statistical Analysis under these same conditions shows that the alternative prediction for Classical Theory is about 13.4 % less. An experiment capable of measuring this prediction difference is proposed. Three Follow-On Stern-Gerlach experiments with Non-Homogeneous Magnetic Fields are found to be explainable under Classical Theory.
