The Pauli exclusion principle is a quantum mechanical principle formulated by Wolfgang Pauli in 1925. It states that no two identical fermions may occupy the same quantum state simultaneously

Why does physical matter need be explained by the Pauli exclusion principle?
Because all matter occupies space and this principle is applicable to all normal matter.
What happens if two fermions occupy the same quantum state simultaneously? Do they cancel each other out and matter collapses?
