The Pauli Effect is a peculiar phenomenon named after physicist Wolfgang Pauli. In the early 20th century, quantum theory makes waves and the field of physics sees a division between theorists and experimentalists.
Theorists, who tend to steer clear of experimental work, sometimes acquire a reputation for unintentionally causing damage to experimental equipment. Pauli is an exception to this quirk.
His exceptional skills as a theorist lead to a belief his mere presence can compromise any experiment. Due to fear of the Pauli effect, Otto Stern, an experimental physicist, forbids Pauli from entering his laboratory in Hamburg, despite their close friendship.
Pauli has a strong belief in the reality of the effect. He corresponds with several eminent bodies including Carl Jung. Jung and Pauli note certain parallels between physics and depth psychology.
Pauli is an esteemed guest at the inauguration celebration of the C.G. Jung Institute in Zürich in 1948. A notable incident involving the Pauli effect takes place during the event when a vase mysteriously falls to the ground upon Pauli's arrival.
This prompts him to write his work "Background-Physics." In this piece, he looks deeper into the complementary connections between physics and depth psychology.
Another event happens in the physics laboratory at the University of Göttingen, where a costly measuring device inexplicably ceases to function, even though Pauli isn't present. The institute's director calls him in Zürich, joking that Pauli is innocent this time.
It's later discovered Pauli, enroute to Zürich, was changing trains at the Göttingen rail station around the time of the malfunction. In a 1966 book by George Gamow, the author suggests the more gifted the theoretical physicist, the more pronounced the impact.
In quantum entanglement, items far apart can react together despite no causal connection. Quantum entanglement manifests on subatomic levels. Once particles like photons or electrons entangle, they stay linked despite great distance between them.
As scientists report in a recent issue of Physics Letters B, particles made of quarks, the building blocks of ordinary matter, can also be entangled. The Pauli effect may present a case for synchronicity (Jung 1928), illustrated by quantum entanglement.
If one looks for coincidences, one is sure to find them. On the other hand, documented effects have been confirmed.
