Physicist
Wolfgang Pauli
Gave physics the exclusion principle and postulated the neutrino when no experiment could have found one. His criticism was severe enough that not even wrong became a phrase.
Wolfgang Ernst Pauli was an Austrian theoretical physicist and a pioneer of quantum mechanics. In 1945, after having been nominated by Albert Einstein, Pauli received the Nobel Prize in Physics "for the discovery of the Exclusion Principle, also called the Pauli Principle". The discovery involved spin theory, which is the basis of a theory of the structure of matter.
