Time and again, spin has been a key element in the exploration of fundamental physics. Spin-dependent observables have often revealed deficits assumed theoretical framework led to novel developments concepts. Spin is exploited many parity-violating experiments searching for physics beyond Standard Model or studying nature nucleon-nucleon forces. The RHIC program plays special role this grand scheme: it uses study how complex many-body system such as proton arises from dynamics QCD. Many...
