During the [[First World War]] Planck's oldest son, Karl, was killed in action at [[Verdun]], and Erwin was taken prisoner by the French in 1914. Grete died in 1917 while giving birth to her first child. Her sister died two years later the same way, after marrying Grete's widower. Both granddaughters survived and were named after their mothers. Planck endured these losses stoically.

In January 1945 his second son, [[Erwin Planck|Erwin]], to whom he had been particularly close, was sentenced to death by the [[People's Court (German)|Volksgerichtshof]] because of his participation in the [[July 20 plot|failed attempt to assassinate Hitler]] in July 1944. Erwin was hanged on 23 January 1945.

In Berlin, Max Planck joined the local Physical Society. He later wrote about this time: "In those days I was essentially the only theoretical physicist there, whence things were not so easy for me, because I started mentioning entropy, but this was not quite fashionable, since it was regarded as a mathematical spook". {{Fact|date=October 2007}} Thanks to his initiative, the various local Physical Societies of Germany merged in 1898 to form the German Physical Society ([[Deutsche Physikalische Gesellschaft]], DPG); from 1905 to 1909 Planck was the president.

Planck started a six-semester course of lectures on theoretical physics, "dry, somewhat impersonal" according to [[Lise Meitner]], "using no notes, never making mistakes, never faltering; the best lecturer I ever heard" according to an English participant, [[J. R. Partington|James R. Partington]], who continues: "There were always many standing around the room. As the lecture-room was well heated and rather close, some of the listeners would from time to time drop to the floor, but this did not disturb the lecture". Planck did not establish an actual "school", the number of his graduate students was only about 20, among them:

===Black-body radiation===
Total 10 points
In 1894 Planck turned his attention to the problem of [[Black body|black-body radiation]]. He had been commissioned by electric companies to create maximum light from [[lightbulb]]s with minimum energy. The problem had been stated by Kirchhoff in 1859: how does the intensity of the electromagnetic radiation emitted by a [[black body]] (a perfect absorber, also known as a cavity radiator) depend on the [[frequency]] of the radiation (e.g., the color of the light) and the temperature of the body? The question had been explored experimentally, but no theoretical treatment agreed with experimental values. [[Wilhelm Wien]] proposed [[Wien's law]], which correctly predicted the behaviour at high frequencies, but failed at low frequencies. The [[Rayleigh-Jeans law]], another approach to the problem, created what was later known as the "[[ultraviolet catastrophe]]", but contrary to many textbooks this was not a motivation for Planck.<ref name="Kragh">For a solid approach to the complexity of Planck's intellectual motivations for the quantum, for his reluctant acceptance of its implications, see Helge Kragh, [http://physicsworld.com/cws/article/print/373 Max Planck: the reluctant revolutionary], ''Physics World''. December 2000.</ref>

Planck's first proposed solution to the problem in 1899 followed from what Planck called the "principle of elementary disorder", which allowed him to derive [[Wien's law]] from a number of assumptions about the entropy of an ideal oscillator, creating what was referred to as the [[Wien-Planck law]]. Soon it was found that experimental evidence did not confirm the new law at all, to Planck's frustration. Planck revised his approach, deriving the first version of the famous [[Planck's law of black-body radiation|Planck black-body radiation law]], which described the experimentally observed black-body spectrum well. It was first proposed in a meeting of the DPG on [[19 October]], [[1900]] and published in 1901. This first derivation did not include energy quantization, and did not use [[statistical mechanics]], to which he held an aversion. In November 1900, Planck revised this first approach, relying on [[Ludwig Boltzmann|Boltzmann]]'s statistical interpretation of the [[second law of thermodynamics]] as a way of gaining a more fundamental understanding of the principles behind his radiation law. As Planck was deeply suspicious of the philosophical and physical implications of such an interpretation of Boltzmann's approach, his recourse to them was, as he later put it, "an act of despair ... I was ready to sacrifice any of my previous convictions about physics."<ref name="Kragh"/>

The central assumption behind his new derivation, presented to the DPG on [[14 December]] [[1900]], was the supposition that the electromagnetic energy could be emitted only in [[Quantization (physics)|quantized]] form, in other words, the energy could only be a multiple of an elementary unit <math>E = h \nu</math>, where <math>h</math> is [[Planck's constant]], also known as Planck's action quantum (introduced already in 1899), and <math>\nu</math> is the frequency of the radiation.

[[Image:Planck-Nobel.jpg|thumb|left|Planck in 1918, the year he received the [[Nobel Prize in Physics]] for his work on [[quantum theory]]]]
At first Planck considered that the quantisation was only as "a purely formal assumption ... actually I did not think much about it..."; nowadays this assumption, incompatible with [[classical physics]], is regarded as the birth of [[quantum physics]] and the greatest intellectual accomplishment of Planck's career ([[Ludwig Boltzmann]] had been discussing in a theoretical paper in 1877 the possibility that the energy states of a physical system could be discrete). The full interpretation of the radical implications of Planck's work was advanced by [[Albert Einstein]] in 1905—for this reason, the philosopher and historian of science [[Thomas Kuhn]] argued that Einstein should be given credit for quantum theory more so than Planck, since Planck did not understand in a deep sense that he was "introducing the quantum" as a real physical entity.<ref>[[Thomas Kuhn]], ''Black-Body Theory and the Quantum Discontinuity: 1894-1912'' (Clarendon Press, Oxford, 1978).</ref> It was in recognition of his monumental accomplishment that Planck was awarded the [[Nobel Prize in Physics]] in 1918.

The discovery of Planck's constant enabled him to define [[Planck units|a new universal set of physical units]] (such as the [[Planck length]] and the [[Planck mass]]), all based on fundamental [[physical constant]]s.

Subsequently, Planck tried to grasp the meaning of the energy quanta, but to no avail. "My unavailing attempts to somehow reintegrate the action quantum into classical theory extended over several years and caused me much trouble." Even several years later, other physicists like [[John William Strutt, 3rd Baron Rayleigh|Rayleigh]], [[James Jeans|Jeans]], and [[Hendrik Lorentz|Lorentz]] set Planck's constant to zero in order to align with classical physics, but Planck knew well that this constant had a precise nonzero value. "I am unable to understand Jeans' stubbornness — he is an example of a theoretician as should never be existing, the same as [[Hegel]] was for philosophy. So much the worse for the facts, if they are wrong."{{Fact|date=August 2007}}

[[Max Born]] wrote about Planck: "He was by nature and by the tradition of his family conservative, averse to revolutionary novelties and skeptical towards speculations. But his belief in the imperative power of logical thinking based on facts was so strong that he did not hesitate to express a claim contradicting to all tradition, because he had convinced himself that no other resort was possible."{{Fact|date=August 2007}}

===Einstein and the theory of relativity===
[[Image:Max-Planck-und-Albert-Einstein.jpg|thumb||Max Planck presents [[Albert Einstein]] with the Max-Planck medal, Berlin June 28, 1929]]

In 1905 the three epochal papers of the hitherto completely unknown [[Albert Einstein]] were published in the journal ''[[Annalen der Physik]]''. Planck was among the few who immediately recognized the significance of the [[special theory of relativity]]. Thanks to his influence this theory was soon widely accepted in Germany. Planck also contributed considerably to extend the special theory of relativity.

Einstein's hypothesis of light ''quanta'' ([[photons]]), based on [[Philipp Lenard]]'s 1902 discovery of the [[photoelectric effect]], was initially rejected by Planck. He was unwilling to discard completely [[James Clerk Maxwell|Maxwell]]'s theory of [[electrodynamics]]. "The theory of light would be thrown back not by decades, but by centuries, into the age when [[Christian Huygens]] dared to fight against the mighty emission theory of [[Isaac Newton]] ..."

In 1910 Einstein pointed out the anomalous behavior of [[specific heat]] at low temperatures as another example of a phenomenon which defies explanation by classical physics. Planck and [[Walther Nernst|Nernst]], seeking to clarify the increasing number of contradictions, organized the First [[Solvay Conference]] (Brussels 1911). At this meeting Einstein was able to convince Planck.

Meanwhile Planck had been appointed dean of Berlin University, whereby it was possible for him to call Einstein to Berlin and establish a new professorship for him (1914). Soon the two scientists became close friends and met frequently to play music together.

===World War and Weimar Republic===
At the onset of the [[First World War]] Planck was not immune to the general excitement of the public: "... besides of much horrible also much unexpectedly great and beautiful: the swift solution of the most difficult issues of domestic policy through arrangement of all parties... the higher esteem for all that is brave and truthful..." Admittedly, he refrained from the extremes of nationalism. He voted successfully for a scientific paper from Italy receiving a prize from the [[Prussian Academy of Sciences]] in 1915 (Planck was one of its four permanent presidents), although at that time Italy was about to join the Allies. The infamous "[[Manifesto of the Ninety-Three|Manifesto of the 93 intellectuals]]", a polemic pamphlet of war propaganda, was also signed by Planck, while Einstein retained a strictly pacifistic attitude which almost led to his imprisonment (he was saved by his [[Swiss (people)|Swiss]] citizenship). But already in 1915 Planck revoked (after several meetings with Dutch physicist [[Hendrik Lorentz|Lorentz]]) parts of the Manifesto, and in 1916 he signed a declaration against German annexationism.

In the turbulent post-war years, Planck, now the highest authority of German physics, issued the slogan "persevere and continue working" to his colleagues. In October 1920 he and [[Fritz Haber]] established the ''[[Notgemeinschaft der Deutschen Wissenschaft| Notgemeinschaft der Deutschen Wissenschaft]]'' (Emergency Organization of German Science), aimed at providing support for destitute scientific research. A considerable portion of the monies they distributed were raised abroad. In this time Planck held leading positions also at Berlin University, the Prussian Academy of Sciences, the German Physical Society and the [[Kaiser Wilhelm Institute|Kaiser-Wilhelm-Gesellschaft]] (which in 1948 became the [[Max-Planck-Gesellschaft]]). Under such conditions he was hardly able to conduct research.

He became a member of the Deutsche Volks-Partei ([[German People's Party]]), the party of Nobel Peace Prize laureate [[Gustav Stresemann]], which aspired to liberal aims for domestic policy and rather revisionistic aims for international politics. He disagreed with the introduction of [[universal suffrage]] and later expressed the view that the Nazi dictatorship resulted from "the ascent of the rule of the crowds".

===Quantum mechanics===
At the end of the 1920s [[Niels Bohr|Bohr]], [[Werner Heisenberg|Heisenberg]] and [[Wolfgang Pauli|Pauli]] had worked out the [[Copenhagen interpretation]] of quantum mechanics, but it was rejected by Planck, as well as [[Erwin Schrödinger|Schrödinger]], [[Max von Laue|Laue]], and [[Albert Einstein|Einstein]]. Planck expected that [[wave mechanics]] would soon render quantum theory—his own child—unnecessary. This was not to be the case, however. Further work only cemented quantum theory, even against his and Einstein's philosophical revulsions. Planck experienced the truth of his own earlier observation from his struggle with the older views in his younger years: "A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die, and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it."<ref>Quoted in Thomas Kuhn, ''[[The Structure of Scientific Revolutions]]'' (1970 ed.): p. 150.</ref>

===Nazi dictatorship and Second World War===
When the Nazis seized power in 1933, Planck was 74. He witnessed many Jewish friends and colleagues expelled from their positions and humiliated, and hundreds of scientists emigrated from Germany. Again he tried the "persevere and continue working" slogan and asked scientists who were considering emigration to remain in Germany.
He hoped the crisis would abate soon and the political situation would improve. There was also a deeper argument against emigration. Emigrating German non-Jewish scientists would need to look for academic positions abroad, but these positions better served Jewish scientists, who had no chance of continuing to work in Germany.

[[Otto Hahn|Hahn]] asked Planck to gather well-known German professors in order to issue a public proclamation against the treatment of Jewish professors, but Planck replied, "If you are able to gather today 30 such gentlemen, then tomorrow 150 others will come and speak against it, because they are eager to take over the positions of the others."<ref> In a slightly different translation, Hahn remembers Planck saying: “If you bring together 30 such men today, then tomorrow 150 will come to denounce them because they want to take their places.” This translated quote is found in: Heilbron, 2000, p. 150. Heilbron, at the end of the paragraph, on p. 151, cites the following references to Hahn’s writings: Otto Hahn ''Einige persönliche Erinnerungen an Max Planck'' MPG, ''Mitteilungen'' (1957) p. 244, and Otto Hahn ''My Life'' (Herder and Herder, 1970) p. 140.</ref> Under Planck's leadership, the [[Kaiser Wilhelm Institute|Kaiser-Wilhelm-Gesellschaft]] (KWG) avoided open conflict with the Nazi regime, except concerning [[Fritz Haber]]. Planck tried to discuss the issue with [[Adolf Hitler]] but was unsuccessful. In the following year, 1934, Haber died in exile.

One year later, Planck, having been the president of the KWG since 1930, organized in a somewhat provocative style an official commemorative meeting for Haber. He also succeeded in secretly enabling a number of Jewish scientists to continue working in institutes of the KWG for several years. In 1936, his term as president of the KWG ended, and the Nazi government pressured him to refrain from seeking another term.

As the political climate in Germany gradually became more hostile, [[Johannes Stark]], prominent exponent of [[Deutsche Physik]] ("German Physics", also called "Aryan Physics") attacked Planck, [[Arnold Sommerfeld|Sommerfeld]] and Heisenberg for continuing to teach the theories of [[Albert Einstein|Einstein]], calling them "white Jews." The "Hauptamt Wissenschaft" (Nazi government office for science) started an investigation of Planck's ancestry, but all they could find out was that he was "1/16 Jewish."{{Fact|date=August 2008}}

In 1938 Planck celebrated his 80th birthday. The DPG held a celebration, during which the Max-Planck medal (founded as the highest medal by the DPG in 1928) was awarded to French physicist [[Louis de Broglie]]. At the end of 1938 the Prussian Academy lost its remaining independence and was taken over by Nazis (''[[Gleichschaltung]]''). Planck protested by resigning his presidency. He continued to travel frequently, giving numerous public talks, such as his talk on Religion and Science, and five years later he was sufficiently fit to climb 3,000-meter peaks in the Alps.

During the [[Second World War]], the increasing number of Allied bombing campaigns against Berlin forced Planck and his wife to leave the city temporarily and live in the countryside. In 1942 he wrote: "In me an ardent desire has grown to persevere this crisis and live long enough to be able to witness the turning point, the beginning of a new rise." In February 1944 his home in Berlin was completely destroyed by an air raid, annihilating all his scientific records and correspondence. Finally, he got into a dangerous situation in his rural retreat due to the rapid advance of the Allied armies from both sides. After the end of the war he was brought to a relative in [[Göttingen]].

Planck endured many personal tragedies after the age of 50. In 1909, his first wife died after 22 years of marriage, leaving him with two sons and twin daughters. Planck's oldest son, Karl, was killed in action in 1916. His daughter Margarete died in childbirth in 1917, and another daughter, Emma, married her late sister's husband and then also died in childbirth, in 1919. During World War II, Planck's house in Berlin was completely destroyed by bombs in 1944 and his youngest son, [[Erwin Planck|Erwin]], was implicated in the attempt made on Hitler's life in the [[July 20 plot]]. Consequently, Erwin died a horrible death at the hands of the Gestapo in 1945. Erwin's death destroyed Planck's will to live{{Fact|date=April 2008}}. By the end of the war, Planck, his second wife and his son by her, moved to Göttingen where he died on [[October 4]], [[1947]].

==Religious view==
Max Planck was a devoted and persistent adherent of [[Christianity]] from early life to death, but he was very tolerant towards alternative views and [[religions]], and so was discontented with the church organizations' demands for unquestioning belief.

The God in which Max Planck believed was an almighty, all-knowing, benevolent but unintelligible God that permeated everything, manifest by symbols, including physical laws. His view may have been motivated by an opposition like [[Albert Einstein|Einstein's]] and [[Erwin Schrödinger|Schrödinger's]] against the [[Logical positivism|positivist]], [[statistics|statistical]] subjective [[quantum mechanic]]s [[universe]] of [[Niels Bohr|Bohr]], [[Werner Heisenberg|Heisenberg]] and others. Planck was interested in truth and Universe beyond observation, and objected to atheism as an obsession with symbols.

Planck regarded the scientist as a man of imagination and faith, "faith" interpreted as being similar to "having a working hypothesis". For example the [[causality|causality principle]] isn't true or false, it is an act of faith. Thereby Planck may have indicated a view that points toward [[Imre Lakatos]]' research programs process descriptions, where falsification is mostly tolerable, in faith of its future removal. <ref>[http://www.adherents.com/people/pp/Max_Planck.html adherents.com: The Religious Affiliation of Physicist Max Planck]</ref>
