A century ago, humankind's understanding of nature took a quantum leap.

Until then, of course, there was no such thing as a quantum leap. There was no quantum theory at all until Max Planck invented it.

On Dec. 14, 1900, he introduced the world to the quantum, a unit of what physicists called "action." You can think of action as the product of energy and time. Planck's point was that the size of one quantum of action depended on a very small number, a fundamen...
