Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Max Planck - The Science of Reality and the Mystery of the WorldMax Planck did not simply introduce a new constant into physics. His work opened one of the great transformations in our understanding of nature.This book follows Planck's journey from his formative years in Germany to the birth of quantum theory, placing his discoveries within their scientific, historical, and human context. It explains, in clear language, the crisis of classical physics, black-body radiation, energy quanta, Planck's relationship to Einstein, and the intellectual upheaval that changed modern science.Beyond the scientific story, Thierry Minkowski explores the questions raised by Planck's legacy: What is reality? What are the limits of scientific knowledge? Can a rigorous scientific view of the world still leave room for philosophical or spiritual reflection?The book carefully distinguishes established scientific knowledge from the author's own interpretations. It does not turn physics into spirituality, nor does it reduce human reflection to scientific formulas. Instead, it invites the reader to see how Planck's life and thought illuminate a demanding lesson: the world is intelligible, but never fully possessed.Accessible to curious readers without advanced training in physics, this is both an introduction to Max Planck and a meditation on science, truth, humility, and the mystery of reality.
