Most of what you are writing is such nonsense I can't even guess what
you're alluding to. Somewhere in there I think I can make out a
reference to spin-orbit coupling, but that's probably because I know
what I'm talking about and you don't, and I'm trying really hard to
imagine you actually know something..

This is not true if a particle has no internal charge distribution.
So your initial statement is false for a photon.

Besides, you've gotten it backwards. The magnetic dipole moment
depends on spin and charge. You need a current loop.

And once more, Porat has no option but to resort to ad hominem and a (rather
pathetic) appeal to ridicule.

BTW: Being a fish merchant in the fish market seems like a good proposition.

So what about neutrons?

Charge and spin are completely separated different properties - spin
isn't made of spinning charge!
From: Jarek Duda on
You want to see charge as the fundamental property - but maybe it's
the other way...
Look at the most fundamental particles - leptons: there is 'pure spin'
particle (neutrino), but there is no pure charge one ...
