The Ultraviolet Catastrophe and the Creation of Quantum Mechanics

During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, there was a problem that stumped even the best minds in physics.
Eventually, one man, Max Planck, solved the problem, but his solution was one that was out of left field. While the math worked, he didn’t actually believe that the mathematics explained reality.
It turned out his discovery was more true than he realized and it ushed in a revolution in the world of physics that completely changed our view of nature and reality. 
Learn more about the ultraviolet catastrophe and the birth of quantum mechanics on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
