"This isn't right. This isn't even wrong.."
Wolfgang Pauli was born on April 25th, 1900 in Vienna. His early education took place during his time in Vienna until studying at the University of Munich. He later went to obtain his doctor's degree in the year 1921. ..that's the boring stuff, let's get to the cool stuff!
 * Wolfgang Pauli received The Nobel Prize in Physics in the year 1945**

Pauli is most famously known for his **Exclusion Principle**, his theories in **Villars Regularization**, the **Pauli Matrices** and the **Pauli Group**, and **Pauli's Equation**.

**﻿Pauli Exclusion Principle**
-States that no two electrons in an atom can have identical quantum numbers. -This applies to not only electrons, but also other particles of fermions (half-integer spin). -Particles of half-integer spin must have asymmetric wavefunctions. -Particles of integer spin must have symmetric wavefunctions.

**Villars Regularization**
-A procedure that isolates divergent terms from finite parts in loop calculations in field theory in order to renormalize the theory. -This regulator is guage invariant due to the auxiliary particles being minimally coupled to the photon field through the gauge covariant derivative. -Pauli's Villars regularization cannot be used in quantum chromodynamic calculations. -This regularization is an alternative to dimensional regularization.

**﻿Pauli Matrices**
-Pauli matrices are a set of two by two complex self-adjointed matrices and untitary matrices. They are expressed like this:

**Pauli Group**
-On one quantum bit the Pauli group is the matrix group consisting of the identity matrix and all of the Pauli matrices, together with the multiplicative factors, plus/minus 1, plus/minus i. -It is generated by the Pauli matrices. It may look like this:

**﻿Pauli's Equation**
-His equation is the formula of the Schrodinger equation but for particles with one-half spin. -It takes into account the interaction of the particle's spin with the electromagnetic field. -This equation can be used where particles are slow enough that relativistic effects may be neglected.

**The Wolfgang Pauli Effect**
This effect refers to the sudden, mysterious failure of technical lab equipment. It arised when lab equipment began to fail and break in the presence of Wolfgang Pauli.

**"Not even wrong"**
Wolfgang Pauli coined the phrase, "not even wrong", where if a scientific argument cannot be proven wrong when tested then it is classified as "not even wrong".
