If we wanted to construct a basic philosophical attitude from these scientific utterances of Pauli's, at first we would be inclined to infer from them an extreme rationalism and a fundamentally skeptical point of view. In reality however, behind this outward display of criticism and skepticism lay concealed a deep philosophical interest even in those dark areas of reality of the human soul which elude the grasp of reason. And while the power of fascination emanating from Pauli's analyses of physical problems was admittedly due in some measure to the detailed and penetrating clarity of his formulations, the rest was derived from a constant contact with the field of creative spiritual processes, for which no rational formulation as yet exists.

His thinking on Dirac's theory and further development of the theory were set forth in two papers. Per Heisenberg. In Heisenberg's tenure at Leipzig the quality of doctoral students post-graduate and research associates who studied and worked with Heisenberg there is attested to by the acclaim later earned by these people; at various times they included: Erich Bagge Felix Bloch Ugo Fano Siegfried Flügge William Vermillion Houston Friedrich Hund Robert S.

He also made important contributions to the theories of the hydrodynamics of turbulent flows the atomic nucleus ferromagnetism cosmic rays and subatomic particles and he was instrumental in planning the first West German nuclear reactor at Karlsruhe together with a research reactor in Munich in 1957. Heisenberg along with Max Born and Pascual Jordan set forth the matrix formulation of quantum mechanics in 1925. Considerable controversy surrounds his work on atomic research during World War II.
