"Science cannot solve the ultimate mystery of nature. And that is because, in the last analysis, we ourselves are a part of the mystery that we are trying to solve"

Max Planck

Karl Ernst Ludwig Marx Planck, better known as Max (Kiel, April 23, 1858 – Göttingen, October 4, 1947), was a German physicist. Although being a very gifted musician (he took singing lessons and played piano, organ and cello, and composed songs and operas), he chose to study physics and is now often considered to be the founder of quantum theory for which he won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1918. Several years after studying at the University of Munich, he became a professor at Berlin University where he developed his ideas and established a new professorship for Albert Einstein. The two scientists became friends and met frequently to play music.
