More quotes by Wolfgang Pauli
How can one avoid despondency if one thinks of the anomalous Zeeman effect?
Wolfgang Pauli
One shouldn't work on semiconductors, that is a filthy mess who knows whether any semiconductors exist.
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
If I understand Dirac correctly, his meaning is this: there is no God, and Dirac is his Prophet.
Wolfgang Pauli
It isn't right. It isn't even wrong.
Wolfgang Pauli
I have done a terrible thing, I have postulated a particle that cannot be detected.
Wolfgang Pauli
I refuse to believe that God is a weak left-hander.
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
After reading a paper by a young theoretical scientist, Pauli, shaking his head sadly, commented: That is not even wrong.
Wolfgang Pauli
Everything comes to him who knows how to wait.
Wolfgang Pauli
That's not right. That's not even wrong.
Wolfgang Pauli
This isn't right. This isn't even wrong.
Wolfgang Pauli
The fact of the existence of two theories [causal and acausal] that contradict each other in Jung ... corresponds psychologically to the vascillation between 3 and 4.
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
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
That theory is worthless. It isn't even wrong!
Wolfgang Pauli
Later, however, I came to recognize the objective nature of these dreams or fantasies ... Thus it was that I gradually came to acknowledge that such fantasies or dreams are neither meaningless nor purely arbitrary but rather convey a sort of second meaning of the terms applied.
Wolfgang Pauli
Aristotle was by far a less able thinker than Plato ... he was completely overwhelmed by Plato.
Wolfgang Pauli
You know, what Einstein has just said isn't so stupid.
Wolfgang Pauli
It is always the older that emanates the new one.
Wolfgang Pauli
