This is a book for any and all readers. It gives a clear perspective of the history of science and the many other challenging problems that still to this day have not been solved.
Max Karl Ernst Ludwig Planck was a German theoretical physicist who originated quantum theory, which won him the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1918.
Planck made many contributions to theoretical physics, but his fame rests primarily on his role as originator of the quantum theory. This theory revolutionized human understanding of atomic and subatomic processes, just as Albert Einstein’s theory of relativity revolutionized the understanding of space and time. Together they constitute the fundamental theories of 20th-century physics.
We read a chapter from this book in Great Books. I need to re-read the whole chapter. It is readable. A basic layman's understanding of quantum theory would add a lot.
