Physikalische Rundblicke

DE · German

Planck's collected lectures and essays of 1908–1920, read in full in the original German: from the unity of the physical world-picture through the mechanical view of nature, the principle of least action and the nature of light to the birth of the quantum theory he started. A short narrator's introduction frames the work; the eight lectures are read in a synthetic voice modeled on Max Planck's original archival recordings. For anyone ready to finally hear the founder of quantum theory explain, in his own words, what physics is and how it knows. Long after the last chapter, one feeling remains: the world-picture holds together — and you have heard Planck himself say why.
