It does not "fail". The Pauli principle says that two fermions may not have identical quantum numbers, so it says that you can have two electrons in different orbitals, or two electrons in the same orbital with different spins, but not two electrons in the same orbital with the same spins.nettleton said:I liked Ken's suggestion of a mysterious property of an electron.
Can you please explain to my simplistic way of thinking why the Pauli principle fails in this case.
