Pauli was born in Vienna to Wolfgang Joseph Pauli (né Wolf Pascheles) and Berta Camilla Schütz. His middle name was given in honor of his godfather, the physicist Ernst Mach. His paternal grandparents were from prominent Jewish families of Prague, but his father converted from Judaism to Roman Catholicism shortly before his marriage in 1899. Bertha Schütz was raised in her mother's Roman Catholic religion, but her father was the Jewish writer Friedrich Schütz. Although Pauli was raised as a Roman Catholic, eventually he and his parents left the Church.

Pauli attended the Döblinger-Gymnasium in Vienna, graduating with distinction in 1918. Only two months after graduation, the young prodigy published his first paper, on Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity. He attended the Ludwig-Maximilians University in Munich, working under Arnold Sommerfeld, where he received his PhD in July 1921 for his thesis on the quantum theory of ionised molecular hydrogen.

    To be a nerd is to 'not give validation to those who brashingly demand it', in other words, if a person who is seeking praise finds that he is embarressed by the superior talents of another he is likely to promptly label that person a nerd - with the intent of applying a degrogatory label. So to know a lot about history and to have that knowledge embarress someone else is likely to get you labelled a nerd. Take heart however the smartest man in the world is a nerd and so is the richest.

    I like History: I do not see myself as a nerd. If you see me as a nerd then I am unconcerned by your view anyway..............
