9781107410732: Pauli's Exclusion Principle: The Origin and Validation of a Scientific Principle

Synopsis

There is hardly another principle in physics with wider scope of applicability and more far-reaching consequences than Pauli's exclusion principle. This book explores the principle's origin in the atomic spectroscopy of the early 1920s, its subsequent embedding into quantum mechanics, and later experimental validation with the development of quantum chromodynamics. Reconstruction of the crucial historic episode provides an excellent foil to reconsider Kuhn's view on incommensurability. The variety of themes skillfully interwoven will appeal to philosophers, historians, scientists and anyone interested in philosophy.

Book Description

There is hardly another principle in physics with more far-reaching consequences than Pauli's exclusion principle. This book explores the principle's origin in the 1920s, its embedding into quantum mechanics, and later experimental validation. Using this crucial historic episode to reconsider Kuhn's view on scientific revolutions, the author defends the prospective rationality of this transition, focusing on how Pauli's principle emerged as a phenomenological rule 'deduced' from anomalous phenomena. The process of validation is reconstructed and analysed within the framework of 'dynamic Kantianism'. The book will interest philosophers, historians and physicists.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. There is hardly another principle in physics with wider scope of applicability and more far-reaching consequences than Pauli's exclusion principle. This book explores the principle's origin in the atomic spectroscopy of the early 1920s, its subsequent embedding into quantum mechanics, and later experimental validation with the development of quantum chromodynamics. The reconstruction of this crucial historic episode provides an excellent foil to reconsider Kuhn's view on incommensurability. The author defends the prospective rationality of the revolutionary transition from the old to the new quantum theory around 1925 by focusing on the way Pauli's principle emerged as a phenomenological rule 'deduced' from some anomalous phenomena and theoretical assumptions of the old quantum theory. The subsequent process of validation is historically reconstructed and analysed within the framework of 'dynamic Kantianism'. The variety of themes skilfully interwoven in this book will appeal to philosophers, historians, scientists and anyone interested in philosophy. There is hardly another principle in physics with more far-reaching consequences than Pauli's exclusion principle. This book explores the principle's origin, its embedding into quantum mechanics, and later experimental validation and analyses the principle's emergence and validation from historical and philosophical viewpoints.
