An electron has its own angular momentum (spin), the projection of which onto an arbitrary direction is equal to half of Planck’s constant, i.e. Lz=h/4·pi=5.25·10-35 J·s. Considering that the speed of light in vacuum is the limiting speed, show the inconsistency of the model according to which the electron spin is reduced to the rotation of this particle around its axis.
