Wolfgang Pauli. Wolfgang Pauli was an Austrian theoretical physicist noted for his work on spin theory and quantum theory, and for the important discovery of the Pauli exclusion principle, which underpins the structure of matter and the whole of chemistry. Wolfgang Ernst Pauli was born on 25 April 1900 in Vienna, Austria (then Austria-Hungary).

Pauli exclusion principle, assertion that no two electrons in an atom can be at the same time in the same state or configuration, proposed (1925) by the Austrian physicist Wolfgang Pauli to account for the observed patterns of light emission from atoms.

Pauli called the neutrino 'a particle that cannot be detected.' Luckily for physics, he was wrong. Zurich, Switzerland, December 1930. Wolfgang Pauli was having the worst year of his life. His mother had committed suicide two years earlier, causing him to turn his back on the Catholic Church.

Wolfgang Ernst Pauli was an Austrian-born Swiss theoretical physicist who is one of the founding fathers of modern day quantum physics. He was presented with the Nobel Prize in Physics for his outstanding contributions to the discovery of spin theory. His life and work heavily contributed to advances in theoretical physics that are still felt ...

Affiliation. Math/NS. From the Nobel Foundation: Pauli was outstanding among the brilliant mid-twentieth century school of physicists. He was recognized as one of the leaders when, barely out of his teens and still a student, he published a masterly exposition of the theory of relativity.
