  1. The transition from classical to quantum physics went about as smoothly as you would expect. Happy #QuantumDay!

    (Unfortunately, I have no idea who made this classic physics meme. It has been around forever. If you know, please tell me!)

  2. Happy #QuantumDay to all who celebrate!

    Max Planck presented work on blackbody radiation to the German Physical Society #OTD in 1900.

    His novel “quantum hypothesis” suggested that matter should be treated as it it emits and absorbs light with frequency f only in discrete chunks of energy E=hf.

  3. Happy #QuantumDay, everyone! 😊 Discovering #quantumtheory revolutionized #physics forever - and might even make your hair stand on end! 😉 #MaxPlanck

  5. @mcnees Yes, #MaxPlanck correctly hypothesized that energy is quantized in 1900, and this is properly celebrated on #QuantumDay. 👏

    But #JohnDalton had hypothesized, and just as correctly, that *mass* is quantized almost 100 years earlier when he published his #AtomicTheory. 👏

    Happy #QuantumDay.

    But, he didn't look like either (or both simultaneously) until the photos were taken...

  8. The transition from classical to quantum physics went very smoothly. Happy #QuantumDay.
