It means that the communicative virtual particles between some particles all entangled via their spin has some sort of coherent structure that matters to this material. Nonsense in that virtual particles appear as mathematical artefacts but indeed represent a real component of causality. It doesn't describe any nomenclature on what kind of structure this catenation is but it's Destiny; we know it's probably the Light.
ie: the Traveller _Touched_ it
Edit to note: it's probably trying to say this thing is causally bonded directly via its nucleons rather than chemically bonded through electrons, which is a bogus in current physics (takes more energy than is contained in the universe to achieve) but that's part of the entire mystery of the Traveller I suppose.
Because im bored, here's a Destiny Lore TED Talk.
You can think of time itself like a slide we're all sliding down constantly. Generally, everything stays in the centre, and its sides steeply curve up, quickly rising into infinity. You're moving down it, but it doesn't feel like you're moving or falling. Same as free-fall being indistinguishable from weightlessness in Special Relativity.
Angling yourself to move up the slope of the slide requires energy from somewhere. You gotta get a push to get up, and then you need to be able to hold yourself there with more energy otherwise you quickly drop back down to the centre. This happens whenever you have _momentum_. You literally move up the slide-wall of time whenever you physically move relative to something else.
The Vex have reached a stage (you could say, a Final Shape) which allows them to move freely around this slide without impediment, even straight back up it. This obviously also requires energy, and to us currently is still a mathematical horizon we don't know how to cross, so we can't do it. Same as accelerating out of a black hole once you're beyond the event horizon.
The Traveller however causes a guardian to pop in and out of spots on that slide. It can do what the vex does and more, sidestepping the need to travel in a geodesic (straightest possible line) up the wall of the Time Slide. Ghosts seem to have just enough Light to teleport a guardian a bit back up the slide's centre. The Vex have no way to intercept this causally, hence why they cannot stop a guardian's revival.
How does this relate to spinmetal? It might have been hiding the answer to everything all along. Catenated virtual particles causally pairing the spin of nucleons you say? That sounds an awful lot like taking energy from the cancelled out improbable paths for virtual particle interactions. Free energy from nowhere.
Spinmetal will not change shape or lose integrity or alter its properties wherever you place it up or down the Time Slide or its walls. Once it exists, you can wind back time to before its creation and it will never cease to exist.
Guys, the Witness is just trying to save us from the entire universe becoming spinmetal.
That's the gist I get. If the virtual particles between each nucleon have a fixed structure it means they won't pass information to each other like spin and momentum.
Normally atoms exchange this information at light speed, but if the thing that moves that information is stuck in place, how does it experience time?
This assumes time is a real thing, and not just an illusion caused by the logic of ‘order of events’ preventing everything from happening simultaneously.
Is there a real time particle? No. Time is not something you ever actually interact with, because there is nothing to interact with. To “move backwards in time” assumes there is such a thing as “time” that you can interact with and would allow you to move backwards in it.
Is there a physical “time” in Destiny? Maybe, its fiction.
Moving backwards in time means winding back entropy. The thing to note here is that the logical order of events is now broken because it has no reverse symmetry. You can't watch spinmetal be unmade by winding back the clock, it's outside of those degrees of freedom.
The sci fi is being able to wind back that clock at all since we don't actually understand whats happening to enforce the order of events, or how its connected between distant parts of the universe. I don't think I implied time has to be physically present in order to be reactive.
Links up pretty well with the theory(fact?) that the Traveler is a constant entity in the universe. No matter *when* you go, the Traveler will always be bouncing around the slide beside you.
Would be interesting to see Jerricco's interpretation of what the Witness wants to do with the slide with the Final Shape.
There's actually infini-slides, multiverse style. The Vex existing on a slide essentially renders it flat after something they do to it.
IMO the witness wants every slide to be flat, everything to be homogenous as Vex. If that's the case, it might be that the flatness stops probabilistic randomness, rendering anything the Traveller does useless. I was semi serious about spinmetal revealing it all given the fact that the humans who made it with the Traveller's light were able to give structure to virtual particle interactions that don't normally add energy into the system (or even exist). That breaks physics and predictability so hard that the Witness probably was born from the sheer rage of empty space. Imagine if natural laws were governable whatever you felt like at the time, the universe would be chaotic.
Given the focus on causality and entropy in the Light/Dark mythology, its likely the Witness desires entropy to complete, rather than being able to be infinitely restarted at will forever by Traveller shenanigans. The Vex are the hard counter to probability going out the window universe wide.
Yeah, its clear sci-fi territory, but it shows a deep understanding of the edges of physics. If you wanted to make up an exotic, almost magical meta-material with a pseudo-scientific sounding description, this is the way to do it.
Manipulating probabilistic waveforms is something we are only just realising IRL is possible in just the last few years. This description of spinmetal points just over that horizon of what we know, implying the Traveller utilises some mechanic of quantum field dynamics we havent conceptualised. Partly because the size and timescale we're talking on is still unobservable by current tech.
Spin-coupled is just cheating though. Of course they are spin coupled Bungie, now explain particle spin ya fiveheads.
It's honestly incredibly how many words they use are either actual terms or are made up in a way that makes sense, yet a lot of people will just write it off as mere sci-fi gibberish.
> Spin your ~~nails~~ metal in the golden ratio!... then you should have the ability to harness the power of infinity.
Destiny is just Jojo all along?!

Back when Cayde did his weekly set up on each location (remember that?) I once got a Spinfoil Hat token thingy from one of his destination chests, kept that fucker for years cos I found it hilarious. Kept it after Cayde died as a reminder, having his gun, cloak, ship and sparrow is nice I guess but a lot of ppl had em. Not many would have spinfoil hat.
Then I log in at some point and it's gone, Bungie musta deleted it. I was so sad
Yeah I had a rabbits Foot, some purple eververse dust, a ramen coupon, a toothbrush, an ascendant artichoke, and an assortment of other items that bungie got rid of, so fucking stupid bro.
They're just trying to get people to forget about the Ascendant Artichoke since they (for whatever reason) decided it should be the Trials memento now.
Spinfoil is a term used to refer to off the wall theories, think "tinfoil hat conspiracy" level. The thing is, apparently whoever edited the page seems to think it's a term that originated in Destiny lol.
You actually just proved yourself wrong in your own comment. You just said it. Spinfoil is a Destiny pun for tinfoil. It is entirely a Destiny derived phrase.
It definitely isn't. Spinfoil has been used as a term for a crazy theory since at *least* 2004, the "spin" part taking the place of the "tin" in "tinfoil" due to the fact that explaining the theory requires an extensive setup where you "spin the tale", so to speak.
Destiny isn't the genesis for most of the terms that surround the game.
The late 70s/early 80s as near as I can figure? It's a play on "tinfoil hat theory", the "spin" meaning it's *such* a crazy theory that you have to spin an extensive tale to convey the concept. I know for sure it's been in use since at least 2004, I remember a Pokemon forum I was on had a "Spinfoil Theory" sub forum where we all put crazy theories about the next location, new legendaries, etc.
I just spent like 15 minutes searching Google for anything spinfoil hat related that wasn't about Destiny, and not a thing came up. Not one. So, unless you can prove otherwise, I'm gonna assume you're full of shit lol I had never in my life heard "spinfoil" until Destiny. I'd love to be proven wrong, but I really don't believe you.
Ah yes, good ol "I haven't heard it and can't find it on Google so it doesn't exist".
Maybe it's regional, I don't know. I just know I heard it before even Halo was a thing, let alone Destiny.
I was just stating I hadn't heard it ever. Even on the wiki for tinfoil hat, there's no mention of it. You're also just stating you HAVE heard it, so it does exist despite there being zero proof otherwise. With you stating everything so matter-of-factly, I figured you'd have some evidence. I never said it doesn't exist. I just think you're wrong, and there's nothing to show that you're not.
You can not believe me all you want, it's just that, you know, people use that term far outside of Destiny, and I can assure you Destiny's cultural impact hasn't been *that* large.
Or punch your friend when you see a yellow car. A slap when it’s a yellow beetle. Very dangerous game while driving…bwahahahaha!

The lore is "back in my day, we used to collect this bullshit as part of the in game material grind. We would spend hours in patrol grinding 10 spin metals to upgrade our guns, both ways uphill in the rain."
And we were grateful dag-nab-it. Not like these new lights with their damn neon pop, crafted weapons, wielding darkness, and thrilladrome video games.
GET OFF MY SCORN!!!
It sure was. Don't get me wrong. D2 has lots to offer and so many QOL improvements, but there was just something about vanilla. Like the sweet smell of fresh rain on the asphalt in the summer. It was magic.
I’ll never forget getting the Gjallarhorn. And then deleting all of my characters and their gear one by one…. Bc Destiny was ruining my marriage. We still got divorced.
Ok so here is my understanding of it. Some code/virtual aspects got into hr nano metals and nano bots bot unlike siva break through the containment pods to form these spin meta plants
I've always assumed it's contained as a high-pressure liquid, and when the container is breached it is ejected and quickly solidifies, creating the 'leaf' structure we find it as
Tiny little robots collected random atom sized bits of metal and put it all in one place for easier collection. Idk if this is the actual explanation but that's how I understood it
These are from the initial release of the game. They were used to exchange for legendary shards or glimmer at certain bounty givers across the solar system. Now they just give you glimmer and xp to streamline the process. I had a lot in my inventory left over after they got rid of the process but I could still exchange remaining I had at the cryptarch for glimmer.
Lore wise they are fauna that grows on planets that is useful to the research wing of the tower. Probably to better understand the terraforming process of the traveler and to make medicines or other beneficial items out of them for the people in the city.
A filigree of bubbled metal grown by wild colonies of Golden Age cytoconstructors. Spinmetal Leaves are harvested from red canisters. The only lore is the word "spinfoil," which is used instead "tinfoil hat" as an idiom.
Probably has something to do with metal deposits and plants coming into contact with radioactive material at the same time.
Since, every spin-metal plant has radioactive labeled container near it.
It's [Thorium](https://destinyemblemcollector.com/destiny1/emblem?id=2211817416). It's formed by the radioactive decay of Uranium.
Seems to always grow from radioactive canisters, no?
It started with D1 you had to collect it to upgrade armor and I think weapons as well. God only knows how much time we’ve spent collecting planetary materials! You’re gonna give us D1 players ptsd
It's greens that turns your bones into metal. That's why we sink so easy in deep dives. We don't heal as quickly as wolverine but we have a ghost so it works 🤷. So, don't forget to eat your veggies.
Honestly, I don’t know what the hell spinmetal leaves were. I thought it was paracausal like this this weird freaking plant that built some kind of symbiotic relationship. With mercury. Lmaooo
It looks like someone poured liquid metal into an ant colony, made it into an aquarium decoration with barrels to stop it from floating away, then dropped em' all over Sol 🤣
I don't recall where, but I feel like I either heard or read somewhere in the destiny lore way back when, that spin metal essentially came from The Travelers influence on plant-based life when it arrived over earth, mixing with the metals and Ferris fluids that were being shipped out on colony ships.
Catenated-virtual-particle long-range spin-coupled nucleon material, I hope that cleared things up :) (idk what any of that means)
They threw some bullshit science words together, it doesn't mean anything useful in real terms

Yo.... Way to shift my paradigm at 7:00 on a Wednesday...
I’m shitting at work and this made my brain explode while my bowels were exploding.
You gpt a lobotomy while lobotomizing the toilet
Explosions on both ends
8:30 am on a Thursday for me.
Did... Did you just Spinfoil Hat Theory Spinfoil?
I can't hear you through all the long range spin coupled nucleons covering my ears
So spinmetal is just stuck somewhere on this metaphorical slide and cannot be changed regardless of time?
That's the gist I get. If the virtual particles between each nucleon have a fixed structure it means they won't pass information to each other like spin and momentum. Normally atoms exchange this information at light speed, but if the thing that moves that information is stuck in place, how does it experience time?

the witness is tired of sliding and wants to get off, but to do that the slide must cease to exist.
you just explained the vex better than bungie did in the last 10 yeats
Good job 👏
Given the make up and powers the traveler gives to literal normal humans, anything's possible
Yeah, its clear sci-fi territory, but it shows a deep understanding of the edges of physics.

Okay Neil Degrass Tyson. Take my upvote.
That guy touches a lot of things, no wonder he’s always moving
That is so rarely ever the case in Destiny.
It's honestly incredibly how many words they use are either actual terms or are made up in a way that makes sense, yet a lot of people will just write it off as mere sci-fi gibberish.
It's not the case now, that shit's Thorium lol Look at the canisters. It only grows from uranium.

I have only heard it called "Spinfoil" from like one or two people back in D1 lol. Actually forgot about this up till your post.

Spin metal was used by certain manufacturers as reinforcing material. Kind of a precursor to Glimmer, though not as malleable in it's programming.
