Max Planck
Max Karl Ernst Ludwig Planck (German: Max Karl Ernst Ludwig Planck; April 23, 1858 - October 4, 1947) was a German physicist and the founder of quantum mechanics. He won the 1918 Nobel Prize in Physics (awarded in 1919) for the discovery of energy quanta. Planck's constant, which bears its name, was used to redefine the basic unit in 2019, and there are scientific prizes, institutions and societies named after it.
