Über diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe

The Origin and Development of the Quantum Theory is a book written by Max Planck, a German physicist and Nobel laureate. Originally published in 1922, this book provides a comprehensive overview of the history and evolution of quantum mechanics, a revolutionary theory that fundamentally changed our understanding of the physical world.Planck begins by discussing the early attempts to explain the behavior of light and matter, including the wave theory of light and the kinetic theory of gases. He then delves into the work of pioneering physicists like Albert Einstein, Niels Bohr, and Werner Heisenberg, who developed the foundations of quantum mechanics in the early 20th century.Throughout the book, Planck explores the key concepts and principles of quantum mechanics, such as wave-particle duality, uncertainty, and superposition. He also discusses the implications of quantum mechanics for our understanding of the nature of reality, including the idea that the act of observation can fundamentally alter the behavior of particles.The Origin and Development of the Quantum Theory is a seminal work in the history of physics, and remains a valuable resource for anyone interested in the origins and evolution of quantum mechanics.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
