The black body problem and a new era of physics
A box that absorbs all light that comes into it and generates endless energy? How Max Planck changed our understanding of physics. Imagine a black box with a hollow cavity and with a very tiny hole in it. Into that hole, we shoot light. What will happen? This box is a technical realization of a black…
