This person used relativistic invariance as the basis for his proof of the spin-statistics theorem.
This person used relativistic invariance as the basis for his proof of the spin-statistics theorem. A statement of this man is often proven by considering that the wavefunction for some particles must be antisymmetric with respect to the exchange of some variables. The pressure that opposes gravitational collapse in white dwarfs is due to that statement. This scientist proposed that the energy, momentum, and spin of (*) beta decay could be conserved by the introduction of an additional particle: the neutrino. His best known statement does not apply to bosons, but rather particles with half-integer spin. For 10 points, name this scientist whose most famous statement requires that electrons in the same orbital have different spin quantum numbers, which is his "exclusion principle".
