The discovery of the Planck constant enabled him to define a new universal set of physical units (such as the Planck length and the Planck mass), all based on fundamental physical constants, upon which much of quantum theory is based

Max Planck was a German theoretical physicist, considered to be the initial founder of quantum theory, and one of the most important physicists of the 20th Century Around the turn of the century, he realized that light and other electromagnetic waves were emitted in discrete packets of energy that he called " quanta " - "quantum " in the singlular - which could only take on certain discrete

Max Planck changed physics and our understanding of the world forever when he discovered that hot objects do not radiate a smooth, continuous range of energies as had been assumed in classical physics
- Planck units - Wikipedia
Originally proposed in 1899 by German physicist Max Planck, they are relevant in research on unified theories such as quantum gravity The term Planck scale refers to quantities of space, time, energy and other units that are similar in magnitude to corresponding Planck units

Planck made many substantial contributions to theoretical physics, but his fame as a physicist rests primarily on his role as the originator of quantum theory In addition to being a physicist, Planck was a gifted pianist, who at one time considered music as a career
