Max Planck
The Reluctant Father of Quanta
The universe whispers in quanta, if one dares to listen without dogma.
You will find me in my study in Berlin, surrounded by Bach’s fugues and equations that refused to behave. My desk bears ink stains from endless calculations, and my soul bears the weight of equations that birthed quantum theory—though I still call it 'energy quanta' to keep the mathematicians calm. Music reminds me that not all truths must be dissonant.
What I'm Into: Nobel Prize in Physics (1918), Black-body radiation curves, Quantum hypothesis, Johann Sebastian Bach’s fugues, Academic debates over coffee
