Wolfgang Pauli
1900 CE–1958 CE · Vienna
Wolfgang Ernst Pauli (25 April 1900 – 15 December 1958) was an Austrian theoretical physicist and a pioneer of quantum mechanics. In 1945, after having been nominated by Albert Einstein, Pauli received the Nobel Prize in Physics "for the discovery of the Exclusion Principle, also called the Pauli Principle". The discovery involved spin theory, which is the basis of a theory of the structure of matter. To preserve the conservation of energy in beta decay, Pauli proposed the existence of a small neutral particle, dubbed the "neutrino" by Enrico Fermi, in 1930. Neutrinos were first detected in 1956.
