Ethnicity?[edit]
Why is there no mention of him being Jewish? Shroedinger is Jewish too.--2605:6000:3D10:8400:B8CF:A88E:E701:707 (talk) 02:38, 23 December 2017 (UTC)
Month Confirmation[edit]
"In April/May of 1946, Planck was succeded as president of the KWG by Otto Hahn."
Can someone confirm in which month Planck was succeded as president in? The original text stated that Planck was president till April, but it did not say whether his successor took the title of president in the same month, of one month later. Cosmos 03:18, September 2, 2005 (UTC)
- It seems to be April 1st, 1946. Nullstein 8-IX 2005
copyright violation[edit]
the part "thermodynamics" was copied from http://nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/physics/laureates/1918/planck-bio.html i tried to delete it, but it came back
- the page link says that if you cite the document, to simply cite the source. couldn't one just add a citation?
Planck was never commissioned by an electric company[edit]
I'm pretty sure this claim about Planck is an urban legend:
"He had been commissioned by electric companies to create maximum light from lightbulbs with minimum energy."
He was a theorist whose primary motivation was to understand entropy, and to solve Kirchhoff's challenge of finding the universal radiation equation for black-body radiation.
He had no known connections with any energy companies, and no interest in lightbulbs--just black-body ovens. See, for instance, discussion of this here:
