  Pauli, Wolfgang
Wolfgang Ernst Pauli was born in Vienna, Austria, where his father, regarded as one of the founders of colloid chemistry, was employed at the University of Vienna.
Once there, Pauli began work on the problem of the anomalous Zeeman effect (how the energy levels of a multielectron atom are split in a magnetic field), work that he continued when in 1923 he moved to a new position at the University of Hamburg.
As a result, Pauli was able in 1925 to arrive at the first statement of his exclusion principle, that stated that there cannot be two or more equivalent electrons in an atom for which in strong fields the values of all quantum numbers n, k1, k2, and m1 are the same.

 Wolfgang Pauli: Resurrection of Spirit in the World - F. David Peat
Pauli was deeply attached to his mother who committed suicide in 1927 on discovering her husband was having an affair.
Pauli had realized that the key element in our modern world is the lack of soul in the scientific conception of the world, yet he is now being told to be loyal to one woman - his own soul.
Possibly it was at this level that Pauli confused his failure to unify symmetry (Christ and the Devil) in physics with the openness of his quest for the wholeness of matter and spirit and with the inner nature of his own inner quest.

Pauli had a caustic wit; he was not a good lecturer and he was notoriously bad as an experimentalist; but he is one of the giants of 20th-century theoretical physics.
Pauli was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1945 for his “…decisive contribution through his discovery in 1925 of a new law of Nature, the exclusion principle or Pauli principle.” Pauli was first nominated for Nobel Prize in 1933 and continued to receive nomination for eight years but not the Prize.
Pauli showed himself that the electronic configuration is made fully intelligible by the exclusion principle, which is therefore essential for the elucidation of the characteristic physical and chemical properties of different elements.

Wolfgang Pauli, the "conscience of physics" was born in Vienna on 25 April 1900.
Among the events organized to celebrate the Pauli centenary was a series of public lectures, Wolfgang Pauli and Modern Physics, at the ETH (Swiss Federal Technical High School) Zurich, where Pauli spent his career from 1928 until his death in 1958, except for an interval during the Second World War.
Pauli discovered many of the 20th century's major new directions for modern physics and went on to lay the foundations for much of what was to come - quantum mechanics, the Exclusion Principle, electron spin, quantum field theory, the neutrino hypothesis, spin and statistics, among others.

Pauli was also responsible for the important exclusion principle, a profoundly new idea that was based upon notions of symmetry within the quantum domain.
Pauli's world clock had revolved upon an axis which was both part of the movement and yet stationary.

 Wolfgang Pauli and Parapsychology
With the postulation of the Pauli principle, named after him, the spin of the electron and the "phantom particle" neutrino (that really is the antineutrino), he had certainly and quite essentially contributed to the basic premises of quantum physics.
On the contrary, Wolfgang Pauli was of the opinion that the inclusion of this further dimension could not consist in Einstein's "regressive idea" to postulate a new causal and purely physical world behind the acausality of quantum physics by finding the "hidden variables".
Pauli always wondered about the fact that these dreams did not utilize Jung's psychological terminology, but rather spoke the rational language of physics, but expanded it more and more in a symbolic terminology, not at all understandable in the foreground.

 Wolfgang Pauli's Fludd/flood Synchronicity and the Future Development of Psychophysical Research
Wolfgang Pauli's promise of becoming a scientific patron of the new institute was obviously guided by the desire that Jungian psychology should not only be an empirical science but also be integrated into the strong (mathematical) empiry of physics.
Pauli's occupation with this dispute between the alchemist and the co-founder of modern quantitative science began in 1940 and increased with a dream in 1946.
As we have seen, the reason why Pauli accepted to be a patron of the new institute, was his belief "that what is developing is indicative of a close fusion of psychology with the scientific experience of the processes in the material physical world".

First printing of Pauli’s landmark discovery of a new law of nature: that no two electrons in an atom can be at the same time in the same state or configuration.
“Wolfgang Pauli made a decisive contribution through his discovery in 1925 of a new law of Nature, the exclusion principle or Pauli principle… Pauli based his investigation on a profound analysis of the experimental and theoretical knowledge in atomic physics at the time.
Among those important phenomena for the explanation of which the Pauli principle is indispensable, we mention the electric conductivity of metals and the magnetic properties of matter.

 Physics Today August 2001
The Pauli two-component equation was an elegant restatement of what was already known about incorporating spin, as can be seen in the earlier calculation of the hydrogen fine structure by Heisenberg and Pascual Jordan.
In 1924, Pauli published a paper suggesting that the hyperfine structure in sodium was due to the nuclear spin.
People tend to consider Pauli to be the first who suggested that the nuclei should carry spin, but the first calculation of the hyperfine structure (for hydrogen) had to wait until Enrico Fermi's work (1930).

 Wolfgang Pauli and Parapsychology, Part 3
I can imagine that the above mentioned conclusion of Wolfgang Pauli - that the assimilation of the psychoid archetype (in the terminology of Jung) to physics is equivalent to the inclusion of parapsychology and biology in it - is obviously not yet understandable for the reader.
1) that Wolfgang Pauli's first remarks about parapsychology in 1934 were also in the context of frequency and oscillation symbolism, together with the possibility of a "non-spatial, non-temporal form of being of the psyche".
It is obvious, that Jung, by his definition of the psychoid as "quasi-psychic" archetype, persisted in the separation of the two realms, but Pauli, on the other hand, tried to look for the reunion of both.
