I remember learning about quantum physics in college, but, while we were
watching "Manhattan" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manhattan_(TV_series)
), they mentioned "Thomas spin"
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_precession ). I didn't remember
this at all. I guess these sort of memories just leak from my brain.

I had never heard of Hoopla. We have Kanopy on our Roku through our
local Santa Clara County library. I see that Roku also has a Hoopla
channel. I should check it out.
