OverviewAI-generated

Max Planck was born on April 23, 1858, and died in 1947. He is recognized in the Royal Society collection, the American Academy Arts Sciences collection, the Nobel Laureates collection, and the Nobel Physics collection. He received one Nobel Prize. His work is referenced by 1,055 other encyclopedia articles.

Planck stated that "The energy and entropy of the world have no meaning, because such quantities admit of no accurate definition." He also noted that "Experiments are the only means of knowledge at our disposal. The rest is poetry, imagination." He authored five works.

A separate entity named Max-Planck-Institut has 170 works, including *Wissen, Gewissen und Wissenschaft im Widerstandsrecht (16.-18. Jh.)* and *Die materielle Gültigkeit von Kaufverträgen*. A musical artist named Max Planck has 150 listeners and a playcount of 1446. This artist is associated with tags including heavy metal and power metal, and is similar to Slauter Xstroyes and Lords Of The Crimson Alliance.

Quotes

“Farsighted theologians are now working to mine the eternal metal from the teachings of Jesus and to forge it for all time.”
“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.”
“I regard consciousness as fundamental. I regard matter as derivative from consciousness. We cannot get behind consciousness. Everything that we talk about, everything that we regard as existing, postulates consciousness.”
“New scientific ideas never spring from a communal body, however organized, but rather from the head of an individually inspired researcher who struggles with his problems in lonely thought and unites all his thought on one single point which is his whole world for the moment.”
“The energy and entropy of the world have no meaning, because such quantities admit of no accurate definition.”
“Experiments are the only means of knowledge at our disposal. The rest is poetry, imagination.”

Planck made many contributions to theoretical physics, primarily in his role as the originator of quantum theory and one of the founders of modern physics, which revolutionized understanding of atomic and subatomic processes. He is known for the Planck constant,
