RUBBISH OR BRILLIANCE. “The wavelengths of light emitted in the glow could be explained, Planck deduced, only by assuming that energy was emitted or absorbed in packets. He worked out the math and showed that the expectations based on his quantum assumption were accurately fulfilled by the light observed in careful experiments. By some accounts, Planck privately suggested that what he had found was either nonsense or one of the greatest discoveries in physics since Newton.”
