On the track of Modern Physics - a virtual exhibition In this fortnight we propose:
|
|||||
| Officially,
the date beginning the Modern Physics is Planck's lecture
in Berlin in December 1900, in which "quants" of energy
are nominated for the first time. Quants created new Physics
areas, like quantum mechanics and electrodynamics and changed
our view, not only on Physics but on the Philosophy of Knowledge,
bringing also new revolutionary applications, like lasers.
