What do I need to know?


Maybe it will be interesting for you to know:
How the Quantum Theory was started ?
=.
Planck was founder of QT ( quantum of action / energy)
Did he discover the quantum experimentally ?
No, it wasn’t any empirical evidence.
Then, what did Planck do?
=.
Many years Planck was attracted with the
absolutely black body problem.
If quantum of light falls in an area of absolutely black
body and does not radiate back, then " thermal death" comes.
In 1900 Planck decided: there is only one way to save
the quantum of light from ‘ thermal death’ -- it must radiate
with unit: h=Et.
This unit doesn’t come from any formulas or equations.
Planck introduced this unit from heaven, from ceiling.
Sorry. Sorry.
I must write: Planck introduced this unit (h) intuitively.
I must write: Planck introduced unit (h) phenomenologically.
=.
Many years Planck tried to chance his intuitive discovery into
more realistic basis but unsuccessful.
