Pauli exclusion principle is the principle that states that two particles of a certain class cannot be in exactly the same energy state. This principle was formulated by Austrian physicist Wolfgang Pauli in 1925.

What scientist said you cannot predict exactly where an electron is or what path it will take?

The uncertainty principle was developed by Werner Karl Heisenberg.


What was Wolfgang Pauli's theory?

The Pauli exclusion principle is the quantum mechanical principle that says that 2 identical fermions (particles with half-integer spin) cannot occupy the same quantum state simultaneously.

Within certain limits it is. That is why conductors are put on the top of buildings. Though you cannot predict where exactly it will strike you can control it to a certain degree.

What is the effect of philosophy of science?

The validity of the scientific method presupposes certain philosophic principles which may or may not be accepted by certain schools of philosophy. These principles include (1) The principle of existence: there is a real world which exists independently of our perception of it {2) The principle of identity: A thing is what it is and not something else (3) The principle of causality: The actions possible to an entity are determined by the nature of that entity (4) The principle of consciousness: We can perceive the real world and gain knowledge of it. This is not an exhaustive list and implies others principles. For example, the principle of consciousness implies the principle of free will. For if we are not free to validate our knowledge, then what we have cannot be claimed as knowledge.


Why do material particles vibrate?

Thermal energy in a material causes the particles to vibrate. Particles cannot stop moving altogether, since they would then violate the Heisenberg uncertainty principle. This states that we cannot know a particles speed and position to infinite precision at the same time. A particle in a material that is not jiggling would violate this. The more and faster that the particles are jiggling, the more energy they must have. If they come into contact with particles that are jiggling less, then that energy spreads. The faster jiggling particles slow down, transferring their energy to the slower particles, which speed up. This is just the transfer of heat from one material to another! Here's a good video from famous physicist Richard Feynman explaining "jiggling atoms."


Unless a hypothesis can be found to be false it is not a scientific inquiry?

I have an hypothesis that light waves are made up of particles. This is a valid scientific inquiry yet it cannot be proved false, because under certain circumstances, light waves behave like particles.
