About this listen

He didn’t mean to change the universe. He just wanted to fix the math. In 1900, Max Planck made a desperate move. Faced with a broken theory about glowing ovens, he made a strange assumption: that energy might come in chunks. Not waves. Not flows. Packets. He thought it was a trick. It turned out to be the truth. PLANCK tells the story of the man who accidentally launched quantum physics. A quiet German physicist with a love of order, Planck found a constant, a single number. that would redefine energy, time, and the limits of the universe itself. Inside you'll hear about blackbody radiation, fudge factors, Einstein’s photon bombshell, Nazi-era physics, and the deepest edges of existence. From Planck time to Planck length to the death of space itself. The world runs on Planck’s constant. This is the story of the man who found it.
