Named in his honour, ESA’s Planck mission is now analysing the Cosmic Microwave Background radiation, which was formed soon after the Big Bang. The data Planck collects will allow astronomers to search for clues about how galaxies form and cluster together, giving us the large-scale structure we see around us in space today.
Max Planck, (born April 23, 1858, Kiel, Schleswig—died Oct. 4, 1947, Göttingen, Ger.), German physicist. He studied at the Universities of Munich and Kiel, then became professor of theoretical physics at the University of Berlin (1889–1928). His work on the second law of thermodynamics and blackbody radiation led him to formulate the ...

Dec 4, 2023 · Max Planck (1858-1947) was a German physicist who revolutionized the understanding of quantum theory. In 1900, he introduced the concept of quantized energy, proposing that energy is emitted or absorbed in discrete units called “quanta.”
Max Planck. 1858 - 1947. Max Planck was told that there was nothing new to be discovered in physics. He was about to embark on a career in physics that would set that idea on its ear. As a...
