Talk:Pauli effect

Pauli's beliefs
Most physicist see the Pauli effect as a humorous anecdote. i was a bit surprised too see, that somebody added the claim that Pauli considered it as real. In order to first present the "orthodox" view, I moved down the respective paragraph. I also took the liberty to insert an "allegedly". After all, we do not have a quote by Pauli himself saying so. The mentioned biography is known and acclaimed as good, but the mentioned collegue quite unknown. (To the fact: It sounds credible though not too likely that Pauli did believe it. He was known to be very interested in psychology and parapsychology. And parapsychology had a much better standing with open-minded but still rigorous scientist then more than now, as then experiments seemed to show psi effects. Now, more carefully designed experiments rule such stuff out, and statistical science can explain its appearence well. But all this of course belongs into another article...)

The German page on the Pauli Effect tells that Pauli was on his way to Copenhagen, not Zurich. He lived in Zurich, so maybe this is the reason for the mixup? --Yooden


 * Think its evindet that Pauli genuinely believed in the effect. I assume that this contributed then as well to the then better standing of e.g. Hans Benders para chair. --Polentario (talk) 13:32, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

"Anecdotes" ... "reality"... "belief"... what are they?

Notability
Is a given, just try the basic sources and the scientific background. Serten (talk) 00:05, 14 August 2014 (UTC)

Intro
The previous entry included various speculation about a "not experimentally-verified" failure of technical equipment in the presence of certain people. Thats not being sourced at all, the effect was named and reported in connection with Wolfgang Pauli. Who else? What sort of experiment would be able to falsify the effect? The (humorous) Pauli effect has been compared with the Pauli exclusion principle, which is a bona fide physical phenomenon, thats true, but its quite evident, that both have been subject of actual science. Pauli himself believed in the effect being real and based e.g. his close commection and letter exchange with C.G. Jung in it. If someone has doubts about the intro, please discuss them instead of misplacing WP:templates.Serten (talk) 10:49, 14 August 2014 (UTC)

??? Multiple issues
Some IP has reinstalled a multiple issues tag. PLease be informed, that the article per se cannot have much issues, since only the intro has been changed, sources (and valid ones) have been added. Furthermore any such tag is worthless with out a discussion section being opened by the contender. I ask to erase the tag. Serten (talk) 12:24, 16 August 2014 (UTC)

Since various attempts to start a discussion what is to be improved to get rid of the tags have led to nothing, I requested a third party opinion. Serten (talk) 16:55, 22 August 2014 (UTC)


 * The request for a Third Opinion made in reference to this dispute has been declined/removed because there has been no thorough discussion of the issue. All forms of moderated content dispute resolution require thorough discussion before seeking assistance. I would ordinarily recommend that you consider the recommendations which I make here about an editor who will not discuss, but in this instance with an IP editor whose address changes, I'm more inclined to recommend page protection.

 * Thanks TransporterMan, I asked for a half protection. Serten (talk) 21:09, 22 August 2014 (UTC)

Evidence of consciousness interacting with matter?
Hi, if as some suggest consciousness is a fundamental force, then it should have a force carrier. If so then the argument about PK being invalid may in fact not be the case though it is very rare. Expanding on this, some individuals seem to have a real world effect on certain electronics, it is suggested that this mechanism may be due to radiation being emitted either thermal or ionizing interfering with exposed electronics through gaps in the casing, and a somewhat magnified effect can be seen in those undergoing radioisotope therapy. Some suggest that weak effects like generating a single pulse on a Geiger counter (a common tool of paranormal researchers) is actually more than likely random chance but more sensitive detectors can also pick up on this effect and lead to a "Life Signs Detector" of sorts. 91.190.161.160 (talk) 03:54, 24 May 2024 (UTC)
