This book explores the figure of Max Planck, often described as a reluctant revolutionary. In 1900, Planck postulated that energy is not emitted continuously, but through 'packets' or quanta, a radical hypothesis that gave rise to quantum mechanics. This theory, along with relativity, constitutes one of the fundamental pillars of our modern view of the universe. The work delves into how quantum mechanics transformed our understanding of the microscopic world, presenting postulates so astonishing that Planck himself often felt overwhelmed by his findings. In addition to his scientific work, the book highlights his role as a leader of German science for decades and his firm defense of reason during the Nazi years.
