Scope and content
Heisenberg sends Pauli the manuscript of a paper on elementary particles for criticism. The starting point is not quantum electrodynamics but a kind of general philosophy of elementary particles. He gives some comments on his manuscript. The fact that protons do not decay into positrons and photons must be based on a conservation law for nucleons.
