Personality and reputation
.
The Pauli effect was named after his bizarre ability to break experimental equipment simply by being in the vicinity. Pauli himself was aware of his reputation, and was delighted whenever the Pauli effect manifested.
每次Pauli一出現, 身邊就會起碼有一樣實驗儀器無端端壞咗.

His supposed remarks when meeting another leading physicist, Paul Ehrenfest, illustrates this notion of an arrogant Pauli. The two met at a conference for the first time. Ehrenfest, though never having met Pauli, was familiar with his papers, and was quite impressed with them. After a few minutes of conversation,
Ehrenfest remarked “I think I like your papers better than you,”
to which Pauli shot back “I think I like you better than your papers.”
The two became very good friends from then on.
你都好衰格, 但係你o既論文寫得幾好.
你都幾好人, 不過你o既論文都幾垃圾.
