Why do we not have spin greater than 2?
It is commonly asserted that no consistent, interacting quantum field theory can be constructed with fields that have spin greater than 2 (possibly with some allusion to renormalization). I've also seen (see Bailin and Love, Supersymmetry) that we cannot have helicity greater than 1, absenting gravity. I am yet to see an explanation as to why this is the case; so can anyone help?
