	Max Planck - MSN Encarta
		Max Karl Ernst Ludwig Planck was born in Kiel on April 23, 1858, and educated at the universities of Munich and Berlin.
		Planck's law states that the energy of each quantum is equal to the frequency of the radiation multiplied by the universal constant.
		Planck's discoveries, which were later verified by other scientists, were the basis of an entirely new field of physics, known as quantum mechanics, and provided a foundation for research in such fields as atomic energy.

	Max Planck
		Born in Kiel, Germany, on 23 April, 1858, Max Karl Ernst Ludwig Planck, was the sixth child of a professor of law at the University of Kiel.
		Max's father took up a position at the University of Munich in 1867 and due to this move, Max Planck went to school at the Maximilian Gymnasium, where, as a result of lessons given by his teacher, Hermann Muller he seems to have developed a strong interest in maths and physics.
		Max Planck was totally devastated by this final tragedy and eventually died at Gottingen on 4th October 1947.

		Max Karl Ernst Ludwig Planck was born on April 23, 1858, in Kiel, Germany, the sixth child of a distinguished jurist and professor of law at the University of Kiel.
		Planck was particularly attracted to the formula found in 1896 by his colleague Wilhelm Wien at the Physikalisch-Technische Reichsanstalt (PTR) in Berlin-Charlottenburg, and he subsequently made a series of attempts to derive "Wien's law" on the basis of the second law of thermodynamics.
		Planck became permanent secretary of the mathematics and physics sections of the Prussian Academy of Sciences in 1912 and held that position until 1938; he was also president of the Kaiser Wilhelm Society (now the Max Planck Society) from 1930 to 1937.

	Max Planck
		Max Karl Ernst Ludwig Planck was born on 23 April in Kiel Germany.
		Planck was deeply impressed by the law of conservation of energy and he became convinced that the second law of termodynamics was an absolute law of nature.
		Planck was very reluctant to introduce his revolutionary idea on the quantisation of energy, and only by being forced by pure logic did he do so.

	Max Planck - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Max Karl Ernst Ludwig Planck (April 23, 1858 – October 4, 1947) was one of the most important German physicists of the late 19th and early 20th century; he is considered to be the founder of quantum theory.
		Max Born wrote about Planck: "He was by nature and by the tradition of his family conservative, averse to revolutionary novelties and sceptical towards speculations.
		In 1938, Planck celebrated his eightieth birthday; the DPG held an official celebration, during which the Max-Planck medal (founded as the highest medal by the DPG in 1928) was awarded to French physicist Louis de Broglie - one year before the outbreak of a new war between France and Germany.

	Biography of Max Planck
		Planck entered the University of Munich in the fall of 1874 and transferred to the University of Berlin in 1877 where his intellectual capacities were brought to a focus as the result of his independent study of Rudolf Clausius' writings on thermodynamics.
		Planck was a revolutionary in a sense because he became a theoretical physicist at a time when theoretical physics was not yet recognized as a discipline in its own right.
		Planck's oldest son, Karl, was killed in action in 1916, his daughter Margarete died in childbirth in 1917, and another daughter, Emma also died in childbirth in 1919.

	Max Planck
		Max Planck, the son of a professor of law, was born in Kiel, Germany, on 23rd April, 1858.
		Planck researched into the manner in which heated bodies radiate energy led him to argue that energy is emitted only in indivisible amounts, called "quanta", the magnitudes of which are proportional to the frequency of the radiation.
		Planck's theories were in conflict with classical physics and his work is said to have marked the commencement of modern science.

		In 1896 Wilhelm Wien, a member of the staff at that institution, was the first to suggest a law that seemed to be empirically supported, describing the spectral distribution of energy as a function of temperature.
		For his theoretical derivation of the radiation law Planck had had to revise his earlier physical assumptions completely-among other things he had to assume that the energy e is not a continuous quantity but a discrete one, proportional to its frequency n (e = hn).
		The introduction of a natural constant h, the Planck quantum of action, was a radically bold assumption, since it contradicted the basic assumption of classical physics that nature did not make any leaps.

	Max Planck
		Max Planck (1858-1947) is one of the "founding fathers" of modern physics.
		When the genius of Max Planck flung himself to simplification in explaining the essence of religion and its diversity – because that is the topic of previous paragraphs – he had not found support in mathematics and that is why, as it seems to me, he simplified the situation excessively.
		If Max Planck is complaining that the cause of religious wars was the interchange of belief in omnipotent god by its manifestations, I would suggest a much more effective solution: not to believe in any unproven claims, not to believe in omnipotent god.

		Planck began studying fl body radiation in 1897 and discovered that at very short wavelengths it did not obey the distribution laws given by Wilhelm Wien.
		Initially Planck was not comfortable with this explanation and fully expected the idea to be disproved by further research.
		Instead quantum theory, which gained Planck the Nobel Prize for physics in 1918, was used by Albert Einstein to explain (1905) the photoelectric effect and by Niels Bohr to propose (1913) a model of the atom with quantified electronic states; the theory was later developed into quantum mechanics.
