    Max Planck (1858-1947) was a German physicist who is considered the founder of quantum theory. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1918 for his discovery of energy quanta, which was the key idea that led to the development of quantum mechanics. Planck introduced the idea that electromagnetic energy can only be emitted or absorbed in discrete packets, which came to be known as quanta. This revolutionary idea was the foundation for the new field of quantum physics.

      Max Planck

      German theoretical physicist (1858–1947)

      "Planck" redirects here. For other uses, see Planck (disambiguation).Not to be confused with Max Blanck.

      Max Karl Ernst Ludwig Planck (;[2]German:[maksˈplaŋk]ⓘ;[3] 23 April 1858 – 4 October 1947) was a German theoretical physicist whose discovery of energy quanta won him the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1918.[4]

      Planck made many substantial contributions to theoretical physics, but his fame as a physicist rests primarily on his role as the originator of quantum theory and one of the founders of modern physics,[5][6] which revolutionized understanding of atomic and subatomic processes. He is known for the Planck constant, which is of foundational importance for quantum physics, and which he used to derive a set of units, today called Planck units, expressed only in terms of fundamental physical constants.

      Planck was twice president of the German scientific institutio
