description Max Planck Overview
Max Planck is the originator of quantum theory. His discovery that energy is radiated in discrete 'quanta'rather than a continuous streamsolved the 'ultraviolet catastrophe' in black-body radiation. This discovery, represented by Planck's constant, marked the birth of quantum physics. Planck's work fundamentally changed our understanding of the microscopic world and provided the foundation for all subsequent quantum research.
Despite his initial reluctance to accept the radical implications of his discovery, his work remains one of the most significant turning points in the history of science, bridging the gap between classical and modern physics.
