Quantum Physics: The Laws That Govern Our Universe
Synopsis
In 1900, Max Planck tackled the mystery of heated filaments at the Physicalisch-Technische Reichsanstalt in Berlin, leading to the birth of quantum mechanics.
Synopsis
Max Planck worked at the Physicalisch-Technische Reichsanstalt in Berlin in 1890, addressing the enigma of how heated filaments produce light. His research led to the formulation of quantum mechanics, which transformed scientific understanding. The documentary outlines key developments in quantum physics, including the idea that particles can exist in multiple states simultaneously. It also introduces quantum biology, proposing that quantum effects may influence evolution, marking the start of a new scientific exploration.
