“Planck suggested that atoms themselves can absorb or discharge energy only in specific bundles called quanta. If the energy and radiation frequency are proportional, then at higher frequencies the energy would likewise become larger. It is not possible for a standing wave to produce an energy bigger than kT. Thus, the standing wave’s high-frequency radiancy is capped.”

“His work provided a fundamental concept for physics, that energy exists in distinct packets that cannot be broken down any further.”

“A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die, and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it." – Max Planck”

“the more precisely a particle’s position is measured, the less precisely the particle’s momentum can be known.”

“The Earth and the Universe, in particular matter and energy that are their building blocks, are governed according to the various laws of physics. No matter where we go or what we do, these physical laws are always in force and remain absolute. These physical processes govern how matter and energy can be transformed and its behavior in various situations where they interact with other elements or forces. Yet beyond the physical aspects of the world we can see, there is another microscopic world operating under its own set of laws, also governing the behavior of matter and energy. Scientists describe this set of laws in a group of theories known as Quantum Physics, or the study of how matter and energy behave on the atomic, nuclear and even smaller microscopic levels.”
