It isn't right. It isn't even wrong.
Wolfgang Pauli

The best that most of us can hope to achieve in physics is simply to misunderstand at a deeper level.
Wolfgang Pauli

This is to show the world that I can paint like Titian. [A big drawing of a rectangle] Only technical details are missing.
Wolfgang Pauli
Image
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.'

God made the bulk the surface was invented by the devil.

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.

It is always the older that emanates the new one.
Wolfgang Pauli
Image
If speculative ideas can not be tested, they're not science they don't even rise to the level of being wrong.
Wolfgang Pauli
Image
It is not only not right, it is not even wrong.
Wolfgang Pauli
Image
Aristotle was by far a less able thinker than Plato ... he was completely overwhelmed by Plato.
Wolfgang Pauli
Image
For quite a while I have set for myself the rule if a theoretician says 'universal' it just means pure nonsense.
Wolfgang Pauli
Image
Physics is very muddled again at the moment it is much too hard for me anyway, and I wish I were a movie comedian or something like that and had never heard anything about physics!
Wolfgang Pauli
Image
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.

This isn't right. This isn't even wrong.
