Why are some particles electrically charged and have a magnetic field?
science bitch
Anyone have the webm of that porn star who stuck one end of a magnet on her ass and the other on her vagina but her vagina piercing came out and ripped her vagina and it started bleeding like hell?

Quantum spin. A better question is why DON'T some particles have a charge.

Also quantum spin.

Are they really spinning balls of something?

I can't find it
The real question is if mass is an analogue to charge, and gravity is an analogue to magnetism, then what is the photon analogue?

No. Spin is sort of a misnomer and, as far as I can tell, is not fully understood, but we know particles have an intrinsic angular momentum. This is sort of similar to the angular momentum of your spinning ball, but there are radical differences. For instance, the ball's angular momentum can be any of an infinite number of values; a particle's spin, however, is quantized, which means it can only have certain values. An elementary particle cannot spin faster or slower, but it's spin may change direction. That's about as much as I'm comfortable trying to explain, since I've only had one class on QM. I will say the math for quantum numbers is pretty easy, but the concepts are really tricky.

Graviton? Not sure the other analogies are accurate, though.

graviton - if it exists, it has a mass of 0 and a spin of 2
