could anyone post a link to Pauli's original proof of spin-statistics theorem.have been looking for a long time.could'nt find any.
thanks.
thanks.
If you email it to me I will host it.dextercioby said:I got a .PDF file of ~622KB with a scanned version. Too bad i can't attach it on this forums...

The spin-statistics theorem is a fundamental principle in quantum mechanics that relates the spin of a particle to its intrinsic properties, such as its mass and charge, and to its statistical behavior.
The spin-statistics theorem is important because it explains why certain particles, such as electrons, behave differently than others, such as photons. It also has implications for the behavior of matter at the quantum level and helps to understand the structure of matter.
The spin-statistics theorem predicts that particles with integer spin, such as photons and mesons, follow Bose-Einstein statistics and can occupy the same quantum state, while particles with half-integer spin, such as electrons and protons, follow Fermi-Dirac statistics and cannot occupy the same quantum state.
The spin-statistics theorem was first postulated by physicist Wolfgang Pauli in 1925 and was later mathematically proven by physicist Julian Schwinger in 1949. It was later experimentally verified through various experiments, including the discovery of the anti-electron (positron) by Carl Anderson in 1932.
The spin-statistics theorem has significant implications in fields such as particle physics, quantum field theory, and cosmology. It also has practical applications in technologies such as semiconductors and superconductors. Additionally, it provides a deeper understanding of the fundamental nature of matter and the universe.
