Max Planck


 * ~Who are you **
 * Name: Max Planck
 * Birth year: April 23, 1858
 * Father and Mothers Occupation: His father was Professor of Constitutional Law in the University of Kiel, and later in Göttingen. (http://www.nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/physics/laureates/1918/planck-bio.html). We did not know what he's wife did.
 * Family: Max's parents were, Johann Julius Wilhelm Planck and his second wife, Emma Patzig. He was baptised with the name of //Karl Ernst Ludwig Marx Planck//then at the age of ten, he changed it to just Max Planck. Max was the sixth child in the family, though two of his siblings were from his dad first marriage. In Max's family they had a long lasting tradition of their devotion to church the state, excellence in scholarship, incorruptibility, conservatism, idealism, reliability, and generosity became of his family being so ingrained with these things it become at part of his own life and work to.
 * ~Where are you from  **
 * Country of birth: Germany
 * Living conditions: Once he got maried he left germany during the first world war to stay away from the germans. " Heilbron describes the impact of wars on Planck and his family:- //He would remember, even in his old age, the sight of Prussian and Austrian troops marching into his native town when he was six years old. Throughout his life, war would cause him deep personal sorrow. He lost his eldest son during World War I. In World War II, his house in Berlin was burned down in an air raid. In// 1945 //his other son was executed when declared guilty of complicity in a plot to kill Hitler.//
 * Political conditions: When WWI and WWII where happening the people were becoming very depressed because they were loosing everything from the wars in the 1920's. The facist came in under hitler and a lot of people freedom war taken.
 * ~What is the world like, when you live **
 * Wars: During world war 1 he agreed with the general high of the public, writing that, " Besides much that is horrible, there is also much that is unexpectedly great and beautiful: the smooth solution of the most difficult domestic political problems by the unification of all parties (and) ... the extolling of everything good and noble. Also during the Nazi dictatorship and the second world war he saw many Jewish friends and colleagues expelled from their positions and humiliated. During the [|Second World War], the increasing number of Allied bombing campaigns against Berlin forced Planck and his wife to leave the city temporarily and live in the countryside****"**** http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Max_Planck

 * ~Interesting facts about me **
 * Education: " In April 1885 the [|University of Kiel] appointed Planck as associate professor of [|theoretical physics]. Further work on entropy and its treatment, especially as applied in [|physical chemistry], followed. He proposed a thermodynamic basis for [|Svante Arrhenius]'s theory of [|electrolytic] [|dissociation]. Within four years he was named the successor to Kirchhoff's position at the University of Berlin — presumably thanks to Helmholtz's intercession — and by 1892 became a full professor. In 1907 Planck was offered [|Boltzmann]'s position in [|Vienna], but turned it down to stay in Berlin. During 1909, as University of Berlin professor, eight of his lectures were used by the Ernest Kempton Adams Fund for Physical Research in Theoretical Physics at [|Columbia University] in [|New York City] for a series of lectures translated by Columbia University professor A. P. Wills.[|[6]] He retired from Berlin on January 10, 1926, and was succeeded by [|Erwin Schrödinger]." (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Max_Planck)
 * What was your area of work or research?: In a paper published in 1900, he announced his derivation of the relationship: this was based on the revolutionary idea that the energy emitted by a resonator could only take on discrete values or quanta. The energy for a resonator of frequency //v// is //hv// where //h// is a universal constant, now called Planck's constant. (http://www.nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/physics/laureates/1918/planck-bio.html)
 * Who were your colleagues?: he worked with Erwin Schrodinger.
 * What awards did you receive?: The main award he got was the mobile prize for physics, in 1918.


 * ~My Friends and enemies: **
 * What colleagues do you work well with?: one of his colleagues was Kirchhofs Carl Rung, he was a life long friend and Kirchhofs was his teacher. Kirchhofs study wave lengths.

 * Explain your relationship:
 * What Physicists are you in conflict with? What is the conflict?:
