Max Planck (1858-1947)

After receiving his doctorate in physics from the University of Munich in 1878, at the age of 21, he made a number of important contributions to theoretical physics. The most famous of these are his work that created the foundation for Quantum Physics. In 1900, he discovered that phenomena in black body radiation could be explained if photons contained only discreet chunks, or quanta, of energy. These observations earned him the 1918 Nobel Prize for Physics.

The discreet component of his energy equations is now called Planck's Constant, h, which has the value: h = 6.626*10^(-34) Js
