Max+Planck

Planck with Einstein Max Planck was born on April 23, 1858; he died on October 4, 1947. Planck was a German theoretical physicist who created the quantum theory.This theory went on to win him the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1918. The quantum theory was Planck's claim to fame, revolutionized human understanding of the atomic theory and subatomic processes.This constituted the fundamental theories of 20th-century physics. Planck's contribution to science was the quantum theory.The quantum theory has explained the structure of the atom and nucleus. Without this information, most of the physics and chemistry that we know today wouldn't have been possible. Quantum theory predicted the existence of antimatter and explains radioactivity. It laid the foundation to the understanding chemical bonding.
