Max Planck (1858-1947) was one of great German physicists.  He advanced the subject of [[thermodynamics]], [[thermoelectricity]], the theory of [[dilute solutions]], and was one of the founders of [[Quantum Mechanics]].
    
Planck's revolutionary discovery, one of the most influential in all of science, was that energy emitted by a resonator could on have discrete values or quanta.  The energy for a resonator of frequency v is hv, where "h" is a universal constant that is now called Planck's constant.  This theory explained discrepancies between theory and observations, and became known as quantum theory.  This helped lay a foundation for the future discovery of quantum mechanics.
