PHY140Y 32 The Pauli Exclusion Principle
... There is in fact a more fundamental reason for why the Pauli Exclusion Principle is required. It has to do with the quantum mechanics description of spin states, and the properties of the associated wave function. What we can show is that for any two fermions, the wave function that describes their ...
