Planck's approach was to analyze the entropy of blackbody radiation as a function of energy. To make both high-frequency and low-frequency data consistent with the Second Law of Thermodynamics, he included an additional "guess" term proportional to the frequency (hf); this results in Planck's Law. Planck's application of Boltzmann's Statistical Mechanics to justify his guess then led to his revolutionary conclusion that the material of the walls emit and absorb radiation in discrete quanta. A paper titled "Planck’s Route to the Black Body Radiation Formula and Quantization" by Michael Fowler (7/25/08) gives a nice discussion.

"When we turn our attention to the general case of electrodynamics ... our first impression is surprise at the enormous complexity of the problems to be solved.", Max Planck (1932), quoted at the opening of Chapter 15 "General Electromagnetic Fields" in Andrew Zangwill's "Modern Electrodynamics".

"Electromagnetic Fields and Waves" by Lorrain & Corson (2nd Edition) contains a problem in chapter 2 "Electrostatic Fields in a Vacuum" (2-19) on J.J. Thomson's "Plum Pudding" model of the atom. It asks to (A) find the force on an electron; (B) describe its motion; (C) the frequency for a 1 Angstrom-sized atom; and (D) compare this frequency to that of visible light. A rather thought-provoking question in an Undergraduate E&M textbook!

You have to spend "big sums of money" to learn high-school-level math? There are free textbooks and tons of free videos... It's impressive that Feynman taught himself and at such a young age, but anyone could teach themselves that, just not as fast or at such a young age.

The problem with this video is that it completely skips all the "ancient" scientists. It is true that it may be difficult to state if that result was effectively obtained by that scientist, but in any case you cannot exclude from the list Eratosthenes, Anaximander, Archimedes,... Also more modern physicists like Keplero, Laplace, Pascal, ... are missing. It looks like the decided to start with the birth of modern physics (with Galilei) and then to move on, but imho this gives a wrong idea about physics development and history and about the cleverness distribution during times.

I am not trying to criticize but I feel offended why Sir Nikola Tesla is forgotten in here.. He was not only forgotten during his time for his opposition to Sir Thomas Edison but also today after his great contributions to the world and all of the grid and every electrical appliance is a manifestation of his work on physics. He invented the microphone and started the idea of wireless charging.... Although a huge fan of sir Richard P Feynmann, I feel that Sir Nikola Tesla can displace Sir Richard P Feynmann in this Video...
