Fermion Definition

Rather than define Fermions as simply obeying the Pauli Exclusion Principle, would it perhaps make sense to define them as obeying Fermi-Dirac Statistics instead? This is a more general definition, and the fact that they are subject to the Pauli exclusion principle is a natural consequence of following Fermi-Dirac statistics. It would also provide convenient symmetry since Bosons are defined in the opposite panel as following Bose-Einstein Statistics. Agozer (talk) 15:15, 20 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I made this scheme in order to better stress the defining characteristics of the different kinds of elementary particles. It has been around for quite a long time so I accept it is useful not only for me. However, I am an enigineer, not a physicist. So feel free to modify the template if you feel your edits will make it more useful. Gazibara (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 08:46, 22 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your reply. I think my suggestion would be helpful simply because it is a more general definition (and in fact where the name Fermion comes from), so I'll make the change. Agozer (talk) 21:06, 29 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Is there an editor for this kind of chart? ♆ CUSH ♆ 02:24, 11 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
