Part 2/9:
With his groundbreaking research on black body radiation, Planck proposed the concept of energy quantization—a significant departure from the continuous nature of energy postulated by classical theory. Initially, Planck did not fully embrace the implications of his discoveries; he viewed the notion of quantization as merely a mathematical convenience rather than a fundamental shift in understanding. Nonetheless, he had unwittingly planted the seeds for a scientific revolution that would introduce a universe characterized not by certainties, but by uncertainties and probabilities.
