QUANTUM GENIUSES

Quantum physics is the theoretical basis of modern physics that explains the nature and behavior of matter and energy on the atomic and subatomic level. In 1900, physicist Max Planck presented his quantum theory to the German Physical Society. Planck had sought to discover the reason that radiation from a glowing body changes in color from red, to orange, and, finally, to blue as its temperature rises. Planck found that at certain discrete temperature levels, energy from a glowing body will occupy different areas of the color spectrum. Planck won the Nobel Prize in Physics for his theory in 1918, but discoveries made by QUANTUM GENIUSES in future contributed to the modern understanding of quantum theory!
