The video explains the concept of electron spin and its discovery through the Stern-Gerlach experiment. It describes the experimental setup, involving a beam of silver atoms passing through a non-homogeneous magnetic field, leading to the observation of beam splitting. This phenomenon supports the idea of quantized spin states, represented by the spin quantum number. The video concludes with the mathematical representation of spin angular momentum.
