  • In 1900 Max Planck accidentally created quantum theory. Why? In this video I use his own words to describe one of the most radical acts in all of science.

    I've now watched this video several times and I really like the connective threads of research and theory that are made. I don't feel completely satisfied but am waiting for the next installments. It's such a cool story.

      @@Kathy_Loves_Physics Quantum Entangled Twisted Tubules:
      When we draw a sine wave on a blackboard, we are representing spatial curvature. Does a photon transfer spatial curvature from one location to another? Wrap a piece of wire around a pencil and it can produce a 3D coil of wire, much like a spring. When viewed from the side it can look like a two-dimensional sine wave. You could coil the wire with either a right-hand twist, or with a left-hand twist. Could Planck's Constant be proportional to the twist cycles. A photon with a higher frequency has more energy. (More spatial curvature). What if gluons are actually made up of these twisted tubes which become entangled with other tubes to produce quarks. (In the same way twisted electrical extension cords can become entangled.) Therefore, the gluons are actually a part of the quarks. Mesons are made up of two entangled tubes (Quarks/Gluons), while protons and neutrons would be made up of three entangled tubes. (Quarks/Gluons) The "Color Force" would be related to the XYZ coordinates (orientation) of entanglement. "Asymptotic Freedom", and "flux tubes" make sense based on this concept. Neutrinos would be made up of a twisted torus (like a twisted donut) within this model. Gravity is a result of a very small curvature imbalance within atoms. (This is why the force of gravity is so small.) Instead of attempting to explain matter as "particles", this concept attempts to explain matter more in the manner of our current understanding of the space-time curvature of gravity. If an electron has qualities of both a particle and a wave, it cannot be either one. It must be something else. It must be something else. Therefore, a "particle" is actually a structure which stores spatial curvature. Can an electron-positron pair (which are made up of opposite directions of twist) annihilate each other by unwinding into each other producing Gamma Ray photons.

    It is remarkable how Planck, being an old school physicist, went against his own ideology and stood by the facts. This is pure integrity of character that you find in Planck and Einstein, both didn't liked what they found out but kept to the model that was more adequate to the experiments.

    "Planck’s Route to the Black Body Radiation Formula and Quantization" by Michael Fowler details Planck's thermodynamic analysis of the entropy of Blackbody Radiation, which motivated his hypothesis to satisfy Wien's Law at high frequencies.
    Planck's application of Boltzmann's Statistical Mechanics led to his conclusion that the material of the walls emit and absorb radiation in discrete quanta.
    It's a great read.

    I really adore your channel. Bit of a random thought, but I'd love to see you explore an offhanded comment mentioned in this video regarding Planck's rejection of the atomic theory Boltzmann's statistical approach was based upon. Many know the tale of the atom arising from the ancient writing of Democritus, but less known is how it reemerged in modern thinking, and why it would be regarded as controversial by somebody like Planck so close to the 20th century (what with it being seen as self evident these days). What I know of it is contained in this tiny passage in a book I'm reading called The Darkening Age, by Catherine Nixey, and simply reads:
    "

Democritus’ atomic theory did, however, come down to us - but on a very slender thread: it was contained in one single volume of Lucretius’ great poem, which was held in one single German library, which one single intrepid book hunter would eventually find and save from extinction. That single volume would have an astonishing afterlife: it became a literary sensation, returning atomism to European thought, created what Stephen Greenblat called “an explosion of interest in pagan antiquity” and influence Newton, Galileo and later Einstein." (page 40)
    Alas, not much else.

    Minute 8 comes to the point of the modern confusion about QM. The Planckian math exists in order to be able to say something about a continuous medium. For the purpose of math, we need to discuss reality in numbers, the equivalent of that for physics are numbered packets of energy. Nature is not quantized, nor is energy. Effects can be quantized (such as an orbital jump around an atom) , but the energy being pumped in to get quantized effects itself is continuous. The map and the conventions used to make the map are not the terrain. The problem is that many nowadays believe the map is the reality.

    Pronunciation note: Wien is pronounced /vi:n/ (or "ween" trying to imitate English phonetic spelling). More generally, for German names 'ie' is pronounced /i:/; it's the order 'ei' that for historical reason or another seems to be commonly well-known by English-speakers (to my amazement) such as in Einstein, pronounced /ainʃtain/, although the German way of pronouncing the st-cluster has been widely dropped by English-speakers.
    Great video. :)

      Joonas Mäkinen thanks for trying to help me - German pronunciation is particularly difficult for me for some weird reason.
      Luckily, I’m done with Wien (I think) but there are many more to butcher.

      Wow, another language geek like myself! Nice comment but you meant to write "veen" instead of "ween" up there, so consider your own self to be corrected, politely of course. Also, the cluster "sp" in German is pronounced "shp," Max Planck is "Mox Plonk" and Maxwell's middle name is pronounced "Clark" - and that's supposed to be English, the Scottish version anyway.

      "Veen", "wean" or "vien" (rather than "ween") would be a more obvious English phonetic equivalent to the German „Wien“. The Germans pronounce their and the same way as native Anglophones pronounce their , but Anglos would pronounce the word "west" differently from "vest" -- and would tend to hear the difference in such pronunciation. Not only that, but if left without contextual correction, the difference in pronunciation would account for a difference in meaning -- at least in English. Nothing of the like exists between the German "wagen" and "vagen", which are phonetically identical to each other. Thus, for English but not for German, the difference between /v/ and /w/ is said to be significant to a "phonemic" extent, beyond mere "allophonic" variation.

      I just want to go back in time and tell him to shave it off. He was so cute clean shaven and looked 100 years old with the "forkbeard" (he he). But looking at Boltzmann maybe those crazy beards were the fashion at the time.

    It's not entropy, but change in entropy that cannot be less than zero in a closed system, according to the 2nd law of thermodynamics. It's the 3rd law that says entropy is always positive and zero at zero Kelvin.

      Mark Stewart totally agree. However, I think literature, for example, is often told from an historical perspective whereas the sciences have been stripped of their stories.

    Hi Kathy. Have you read the book Einstein and the Quantum: The Quest of the Valiant Swabian, by A. Douglas Stone? He covers this story and more in tracing Einstein's involvement in quantum theory. Its a fun read, and I think you'd enjoy it! Its great to see another telling of the story here, and I'm looking forward to watching your related videos. Keep up the great work!

    Wonderful video. One small comment: Wilhelm Wien's name is pronounced "veen", not "vine". Incidentally, Wien is also the German name for the city of Vienna.
