::::: I don't see why it matters if Planck said in 1913 that light is a wave. Light can be understood as waves or particles. Just tell me what Einstein did that was original. I do not want to give Einstein credit for what Planck and Lenard already did.

:::::: Planck thought of light as a wave - and only as a wave. His idea was that matter emits and absorbs energy in quanta, but he didn't say anything about light-quanta. That's due to Einstein. As Planck credited Einstein for this achievement later on - so should you. Lenard's critique of Einstein - and the subsequently founding of the ''Deutsche Physik'' can't be taken serious: he didn't like Einstein's interpretations. Lenard made great contributions to the experiments of the photoelectric effect, but he didn't came forward with an adequate theoretical ''Überbau''. All the proponents of the ''Deutsche Physik'' were vicious anti-quantum-mechanics. --[[User:BRichtigen|BRichtigen]] 16:37, 25 October 2008 (EDT)
