Planck’s Last Resort: The Birth of Quantum Mechanics

  • サマリー

  • In 1900, Max Planck wasn’t trying to revolutionize physics—he was just trying to fix an equation. Instead, he stumbled upon one of the most shocking ideas in science: energy isn’t continuous—it comes in tiny, indivisible packets called quanta.


    This accidental discovery shattered classical physics and became the foundation of quantum mechanics. But even Planck himself didn’t believe it at first! Why did he resist his own idea? How did it solve the “ultraviolet catastrophe” that had physicists scratching their heads? And why does this discovery still shape everything from modern technology to the nature of reality?


    Welcome to the moment that started it all.
