Max Planck Biography with Depth and Humor
video description
but I expected better (to talk about his early life in Berlin, about his enthusiasm as a young man, and about the German governments investment of millions in the Technical Research Institute in Berlin where Plancks appearance was from there)
But I loved it very much especially the Nernest part and the Solvay Conference I did not know this before
Thank you
I have added an Arabic translation to the video and I hope that it will be accepted.

Congratulations for all your videos! They are all so well documented and well told thay I've rushed over almost all of them.
What about astronomy? There are fantastic histories there, like the one that Johanes Kepler was so miope that he never saw a single star and, yet, he came with his famous three laws, thanks to the histeric Tyco Brahe's data. It's a lovely history!

Planck also played a key role in the recognition of Einstein's early work on special relativity. Without Planck, Einstein's work might not have been recognized for a long time, if at all. Einstein was a patent clerk, and many stuffy, entrenched professors would have scoffed at it without even looking at it.

Thanks for this wonderful video. Every physicist knows something of these stories, but you are putting them in the context of real history. Planck, Einstein, Bohr, Boltzmann, Schrodinger, and Edison vs Tesla and more are becoming more vivid to me.

Thank you for your videos. They are well researched, to the point, very interesting and sober. I especially appreciate the fact that you do not try to sensationalise your material in a misguided attempt to generate interest.

Thank you for this video. By bringing Planck to life the lesson is made so much more interesting. Not being educated in mathematics, I was only tangentially acquainted with Planck so this was very enlightening. Great work.

Hey Kathy, is Helmholtz the same guy that subwoofer ports are tuned to? Secondly, is Wien the guy the oscillator feedback bridge is named after? If so, I'd love to see videos about them in the fall!
Love your videos!

There is a very good video by Physics Explained on the Ultraviolet Catastrophe with the mathematics behind it. It shows how much of a genius Max Planck was by changing the formula from integral to sum in short terms.

One of the amazing things about your talk is how you show this scientist influenced this one. Or this one was not influenced. Both important in seeing the science and physics moving forward and developing.

It is weird that all of the things described in here happened when kings/emperors and military generals prepared to kill each other. And used their findings to create weapons to kill each other

Thanks Kathy, another great video - fascinating and informative. I look forward to part zwei!
So much cousin marrying is v disturbing, I wonder if they got the idea from Charles Darwin!

My mother got her undergraduate degree I music in about 1930. They had to take a class on the theory of sound. It was based on Helmholtz. Same guy? Music students + Helmholtz! They hated it.

I was hoping to find an explanation of the connection between the macro-view of entropy (Q(1/T1 - 1/T2) and the micro-view of it with Boltzman's constant. Have you done that elsewhere?

Fantastic. The fact that Planck and Einstein were buddies who had a little band together warms my heart.
I wish there was a movie about their friendship and discoveries

I wouldn't want to be a bystander in your videos, Kathy
Can we call the Solvay Conference the Mustache Conference? All the men but one or two had mustaches.

How could he/other European physicists of his time 'discover/develope' quantum mechanics/theory when it was already known about in Ancient african cultures?

Thank you. Thank you so much. An inspiring story. Really love listening to you. It reminds me of my physics and chemistry classes from over 30 years ago

Planck was a great composer. Are any of his works still around? His home was destroyed by allied bombing. Would love to hear Planck's piano works.

Seems like the scientists were so busy with their theories they ended up having relationships with close relatives. This is also know as relativity.

Thanks Kathy, love your videos as always. I always know more after watching your video, no matter how much I thought that knew before watching.
