Wolfgang Pauli
April 25, 1900- December 15, 1958
Wolfgang Pauli
A famous physicist from Austria who worked on multiple theories. He attended the Ludwig-Maximilian University where he got his PhD. His most important work was on the Pauli exclusion principle. He also worked on the quantum theory and spin theory.
The Pauli Exclusion Prinicple
This theory was Pauli's most important work. It proved that two electrons could not exist in the same quantum state. This work can be applied to alto of things actually that we still learn about and use today. Firstly we still use his works as standard learning sources. The principle applies to protons, electrons, and neutrons which we learn about and use in science. Also this work explains to us why there is different types of atoms in our universe at all. It also applies to Pauli repulsion which occurs when two identical particles are forced to try and have the same quantum numbers. Now if you were looking for his neutron idea I didn't use it because someone else proved it later on.
Example of Pauli Exclusion Principle
Protons, Electrons, and Neutrons
All of these are affected by the Pauli exclusion principle.
Quantum Theory
Other works
He also worked on the spin theory and the quantum theory, he made instrumental additions to them. He also solved the nonrelativistic theory of spin. He proposed the idea of the neutron but it wasn't proven till later.
