You might know the Beatles song Maxwell’s Silver Hammer. (Not one of their seminal works, one might think.) Is the Maxwell in question James Clerk? OK, not that fun so far, but here comes the bombshell:

The Finnish version of the song is called Paulin Taikakaulin, which means Pauli’s Magic Rolling Pin. Can this Pauli be anyone except Wolfgang? Another physicist! Deep.
