Planck's 1900 Quantum Hypothesis, Step by Step

In late 1900 Max Planck found the formula for black-body radiation and then, to justify it, split energy into chunks of size hν. Here is the sequence of events, the...

Who Started Quantum Mechanics? Planck, Bohr and...

Quantum theory did not begin with one paper. Planck quantized energy in 1900, Bohr quantized the atom in 1913, and Heisenberg’s 1925 matrix mechanics plus the 1927 uncertainty relation made...
