The Pauli exclusion principle catastrophe.

In summary: PEP is a great theory, but it cannot account for some experimental results.In summary, the "Pauli exclusion principle" catastrophe has been discovered where recent works with MOTTS have proven the inability of Pauli's work to account for experimental results on the field of high-temp superconductors.

The "Pauli exclusion principle" catastrophe.

:!) Recent works with MOTTS have proved the inability of Pauli's work to account for experimental results on the field of high-temp superconductors.

Could anyone add his or her own opinion about this?

By the way, have any of you guys received any info about some crazy guy posting threads against quantum mechanics and its abilities to describe our reality?

A friend of mine received the following URL connection where those infames and totally crazy articles were posted:

<link removed>

That guy used the pseudo-name of "humanbydefault"... I think that he is dangerous and should be imprisoned for life.

Could you provide a source for these experimental results please?

What is a "MOTTS" ?

Are you talking about Mott Insulators ?

Please provide complete references.

Also note that we do not permit links to crackpot sites.

I suppose so. There was a lot to do about Kim Hyun-tak's work last week:

So, they managed to make a transistor from a Mott insulator.

Was there anything about upcoming articles on this? This would be a grand discovery but there has been nothing about it at nature's or science's news.

I think you have some MAJOR misunderstanding occurring here. Mott insulators, or even the Mott-Hubbard bands, says NOTHING about Pauli's work. In fact, it is BECAUSE of the pauli exclusion principle that an antiferromagnetic ground state of Mott compound is an insulator and NOT a metal, as predicted by conventional band theory. The electrons just simply cannot hop to the next site occupied site due to the exclusion principle. It is conventional band theory that failed, not "pauli's work".

FAQ: The Pauli exclusion principle catastrophe.

1. What is the Pauli exclusion principle?

The Pauli exclusion principle is a fundamental principle in quantum mechanics that states that no two identical fermions (particles with half-integer spin) can occupy the same quantum state simultaneously. This means that two fermions cannot have the same position, momentum, and spin in an atom or molecule.

2. How does the Pauli exclusion principle lead to the "catastrophe"?

The "catastrophe" referred to in the Pauli exclusion principle refers to the consequences of the principle in extreme conditions, such as in a white dwarf or neutron star. As these objects are incredibly dense and have high gravitational forces, it forces electrons to occupy the same energy levels, which violates the Pauli exclusion principle. This leads to an outward force that counters the gravitational force, known as degeneracy pressure. If the degeneracy pressure is not strong enough, the star can collapse, resulting in a "catastrophe."

3. How does the Pauli exclusion principle affect electron configurations in atoms?

The Pauli exclusion principle dictates that each electron in an atom must have a unique set of quantum numbers, including energy level, orbital shape, and spin. This means that only two electrons can occupy the same orbital, and they must have opposite spins. This principle explains the arrangement of electrons in an atom's orbitals, known as the electron configuration.

4. Can the Pauli exclusion principle be violated?

No, the Pauli exclusion principle is a fundamental law in quantum mechanics and has been extensively tested and proven to be accurate in describing the behavior of fermions. It is a key principle in understanding the properties of matter and is essential in explaining the stability of atoms and the periodic table.

5. How did the discovery of the Pauli exclusion principle impact modern physics?

The discovery of the Pauli exclusion principle revolutionized modern physics and led to the development of quantum mechanics. It explained why elements have distinct chemical properties and provided a theoretical basis for the periodic table. It also helped scientists understand the behavior of subatomic particles and led to the development of nuclear physics and quantum field theory.
