Jung & Pauli — The Unfinished Theory That Could Change Everything
September 4, 2025 at 05:46PM
🧬 What exactly did Jung and Pauli discover? In this deep dive, we track Pauli’s story from wunderkind to Nobel-level iconoclast: his dreams, the “Pauli effect,” the birth of quantum numbers and the Exclusion Principle, and why 1/137 haunted him. Then we follow the correspondence with Jung into the hard questions: can archetype, synchronicity and the unconscious supply a neutral language that unites psyche and matter without invoking Plato’s ghost? Along the way: Kepler vs. Fludd (3→4), number as form, psychoid factors, complementarity, and the modern shape of the unus mundus.
