Quantization of Energy

Part 1: Blackbody Radiation and the Ultraviolet Catastrophe

So we know that physics got turned upside down at the turn of the 20th century, but how did that all begin? What was the first thing that set this whole chain of events into motion? Well it all started with Planck and the ultraviolet catastrophe.

Part 2: Photons, Electrons, and Wave-Particle Duality

Max Planck kicked things off, but how does the story of modern physics continue? With none other than your favorite scientist and mine, Albert Einstein! He did more than just stick his tongue out and have crazy hair.
