4 unusual facts about Max Planck


Arkadi Maslow

In 1912 in Berlin, Tschemerinski began studies in science under, among others, Albert Einstein and Max Planck.

John Charles Fields

Disillusioned with the state of mathematical research in North America at the time, he left for Europe in 1891, locating primarily in Berlin, Göttingen and Paris, where he associated with some of the greatest mathematical minds of the time, including Karl Weierstrass, Felix Klein, Ferdinand Georg Frobenius and Max Planck.

Vallis Planck

This cleft in the surface crosses the western part of the huge walled plain Planck, and it was named after that feature (which has an eponym of Max Planck).

Willi Rinow

In 1926, he attended the Humboldt University of Berlin, studying mathematics and physics under professors such as Max Planck, Ludwig Bieberbach, and Heinz Hopf.


Jnan Chandra Ghosh

He researched problems of photo-chemistry and strong electrolytes in the University College which earned appreciation from leaders of science like Walter Nernst, Max Planck, William Bragg and G. N. Lewis and was cited in Walter Nernst's reputed book "Theoretical Chemistry" (1921) and Lewis and Randall's book "Thermodynamics".

Laser science

Albert Einstein created the foundations for the laser and maser in 1917, via a paper in which he re-derived Max Planck’s law of radiation using a formalism based on probability coefficients (Einstein coefficients) for the absorption, spontaneous emission, and stimulated emission of electromagnetic radiation.

Planck particle

A Planck particle, named after physicist Max Planck, is a hypothetical particle defined as a tiny black hole whose Compton wavelength is equal to its Schwarzschild radius.
