Top 10 most inspiring quotes by Max Planck
- A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die, and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it.
- Science cannot solve the ultimate mystery of nature. And that is because, in the last analysis, we ourselves are a part of the mystery that we are trying to solve.
- It is not the possession of truth, but the success which attends the seeking after it, that enriches the seeker and brings happiness to him.
- An experiment is a question which science poses to Nature and a measurement is the recording of Nature’s answer.
- The highest court is in the end one’s own conscience and conviction—that goes for you and for Einstein and every other physicist—and before any science there is first of all belief.
- The assumption of an absolute determinism is the essential foundation of every scientific enquiry.
- Experiment is the only means of knowledge at our disposal. Everything else is poetry, imagination.
- This is one of man’s oldest riddles. How can the independence of human volition be harmonized with the fact that we are integral parts of a universe which is subject to the rigid order of nature’s laws?
- We have no right to assume that any physical laws exist, or if they have existed up to now, that they will continue to exist in a similar manner in the future.
- All matter originates and exists only by virtue of a force… We must assume behind this force the existence of a conscious and intelligent Mind. This Mind is the matrix of all matter.
Max Planck (1858-1947) was a German physicist who is best known for his groundbreaking work on quantum theory. He was born in Kiel, Germany and studied at the University of Munich and the University of Berlin. Planck received his Ph.D. in physics in 1880 and went on to teach at various universities throughout Germany.
In 1900, Planck made a discovery that would change the course of physics. He proposed that the energy emitted by a body at a given temperature is not continuous, but rather comes in discrete packets called “quanta”. This theory, which became known as Planck’s constant, revolutionized the field of physics and laid the foundation for the development of quantum mechanics.
Planck was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1918 for his work on quantum theory. He continued to work in physics and served as the president of the Kaiser Wilhelm Society (which later became the Max Planck Society) from 1930 to 1937.
Planck was also an important figure in the development of the theory of relativity, and he was a close friend and mentor to Albert Einstein. He died in Göttingen, Germany in 1947.
