More quotes by Wolfgang Pauli
For quite a while I have set for myself the rule if a theoretician says 'universal' it just means pure nonsense.
Wolfgang Pauli
Well, our friend Dirac, too, has a religion, and its guiding principle is God does not exist and Dirac is His prophet.
Wolfgang Pauli
If I understand Dirac correctly, his meaning is this: there is no God, and Dirac is his Prophet.
Wolfgang Pauli
Aristotle was by far a less able thinker than Plato ... he was completely overwhelmed by Plato.
Wolfgang Pauli
There can never be two or more equivalent electrons in an atom, for which in a strong field the values of all the quantum numbers n, k1, k2 and m are the same. If an electron is present, for which these quantum numbers (in an external field) have definite values, then this state is 'occupied.'
Wolfgang Pauli
If speculative ideas can not be tested, they're not science they don't even rise to the level of being wrong.
Wolfgang Pauli
Everything comes to him who knows how to wait.
Wolfgang Pauli
I refuse to believe that God is a weak left-hander.

Wolfgang Pauli
You know, what Einstein has just said isn't so stupid.
Wolfgang Pauli
That theory is worthless. It isn't even wrong!
Wolfgang Pauli
I confess, that very different from you, I do find sometimes scientific inspiration in mysticism ... but this is counterbalanced by an immediate sense for mathematics.
Wolfgang Pauli
The layman always means, when he says reality that he is speaking of something self-evidently known whereas to me it seems the most important and exceedingly difficult task of our time is to work on the construction of a new idea of reality.
Wolfgang Pauli
The best that most of us can hope to achieve in physics is simply to misunderstand at a deeper level.
Wolfgang Pauli
What really matters for me is ... the more active role of the observer in quantum physics ... According to quantum physics the observer has indeed a new relation to the physical events around him in comparison with the classical observer, who is merely a spectator.
Wolfgang Pauli
How can one avoid despondency if one thinks of the anomalous Zeeman effect?
Wolfgang Pauli
It isn't right. It isn't even wrong.
Wolfgang Pauli
This isn't right. This isn't even wrong.
Wolfgang Pauli
That's not right. That's not even wrong.
