Max Karl Ernst Ludwig Planck, FRS (/plɑːŋk/; 23 April 1858 – 4 October 1947) was a German theoretical physicist whose work on quantum theory won him the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1918.
Planck made many contributions to theoretical physics, but his fame as a physicist rests primarily on his role as an originator of quantum theory, which revolutionized human understanding of atomic and subatomic processes. However, his name is also known on a broader academic basis, through the renaming in 1948 of the German scientific institution, the Kaiser Wilhelm Society (of which he was twice president), as the Max Planck Society (MPS). The MPS now includes 83 institutions representing a wide range of scientific directions.
Planck came from a traditional, intellectual family. His paternal great-grandfather and grandfather were both theology professors in Göttingen; his father was a law professor in Kiel and Munich.
Planck was born in Kiel, Holstein, to Johann Julius Wilhelm Planck and his second wife, Emma Patzig. He was baptised with the name of Karl Ernst Ludwig Marx Planck; of his given names, Marx (a now obsolete variant of Markus or maybe simply an error for Max, which is actually short for Maximilian) was indicated as the primary name. However, by the age of ten he signed with the name Max and used this for the rest of his life.

Plot: Inside the head of a geeky teenage boy, a group of scientists lead by Albert Einstein, are trying to find the ultimate approach to charm the boy's dream girl. They do the calculations, he acts them out. But he soon discovers that mathematical formulas might not be the best way to win a girl's heart.

Plot: Sir Arthur Eddington is a renowned physicist at Cambridge University and an expert in the measurement of the physical world. He along with all of his colleagues are also avowed Newtonians. Sir Oliver Lodge suggests that he read a new thesis put forward by a German-Swiss scientist named Albert Einstein who is suggesting that Sir Isaac Newton may have got it wrong. The expectation is that Einstein's theories will be disproven but Eddington admits that his General Theory of Relativity has merit. These are turbulent times as England and Germany are at war and Eddington's own loyalty is called into question when, as a Quaker, he refuses to fight. In the end, Eddington develops a series of tests to either prove or disprove Einstein's theories. For his part, Einstein has his own struggles during this period: the breakdown of his marriage, his integration into the university in Berlin and his own strident pacifism that led him to oppose German militarism and the First World War. In the end, Eddington proves Einstein's theories as correct causing what many believe to be the launch of modern day physics.

Genres: ,So the start, is my seed.
And thirty-seven thousand feet, forwards, backwards, and underneath.
Your last word turns, like a cyclone, just outside my window.
Your good advice all tied around my ankle.
Had to go, had to take off, and hide myself from everyone.
So their reasons, won't become my reasons.
'Cause they're talking, they're talking, talkin' again.
And the chain reaction,
like a slow wave crashin',
to come and change everything and wash me away.
So I make way for some chaos.
The ripple on the surface sends me secrets,
and I keep them.
Like a reoccurring dream,
of Max Planck and you're running rings around me.
But you can't solve me.
And you're trying, you're trying, trying again.
I need a chain reaction,
like a slow wave crashin'.
To come and change everything and wash me away.
We stumble in the dark, stumble in the dark.
And this is how it starts, this is how it starts, starts.
You carry your escape everywhere,
just in case you find yourself there, find yourself there.
And a chain reaction (chain reaction),
like a slow wave crashin' (slow wave crashin'),
would come and change everything and wash me away, away, away, away.
Wash me away, 'n' wash me away.
