The Planck scale is a very large energy scale or a very small size scale where quantum effects of gravity become important. Physicists are interested in learning more about it, but it represents a fundamental limit on how small distances we can probe. The Planck energy is almost unimaginably large, and a particle accelerator powerful […]
Max Planck, a Nobel Prize-winning German physicist, founded quantum theory in 1900, launching a revolution in physics. He introduced the idea of quantization, representing light as discrete packets called photons. Planck’s constant led to the derivation of fundamental units based on the properties of the universe. Max Planck was a Nobel Prize-winning German physicist. He […]
