Black-Body Radiation
In the final years of the nineteenth century, a new problem came to light which threatened to question the very nature of physical theories since the time of Newton.

Max Planck and Light Quanta
In 1900, Max Planck announced a solution to the black-body problem, and in doing so set physics on a revolutionary new path altogether.

The Photoelectric Effect is Solved
As part of his "Miracle Year" in 1905, Albert Einstein gave the new "quantum" ideas a jump start with his solution to a nineteenth century problem.

Planck's Law
Planck's revolutionary idea of describing light statistically rather than as a continuous wave seeded the birth of quantum physics.

Difference Equations and Modern Physics
Whereas in much of physics scientists tend to rely on differential equations to describe phenomena, certain physical theories find success by denying continuity.

More than meets the eye
Thousands light the night sky to the unaided eye, dimmer or brighter, yet seldom a hint of color to make a difference from an overwhelming whiteness. But the starry zoo features a wild variety in sizes, color and life span.
