The Strange Friendship of Pauli and Jung - When Physics Met Psychology

Description
At a key time in his scientific development, Pauli was undergoing
analysis by Jung. What can we learn about Pauli's discoveries of
the exclusion principle and the CPT theorem, as well as his thoughts
on non-conservation of parity, and his quest with Heisenberg for a
unified field theory of elementary particles from Jung’s analysis of
his dreams? A very different Pauli emerges, one at odds with
esteemed colleagues such as Niels Bohr and Werner Heisenberg.
