Max Karl Ernst Ludwig Planck, FRS^[3] (German: [plaŋk]; Apryle 23, 1858 – October 4, 1947) wis a German theoretical physicist that oreeginatit quantum theory, that wan him the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1918.^[4]

Planck made mony contreibutions tae theoretical physics, but his fame as a physicist rests primarily on his role as the oreeginator o quantum theory, that revolutionised human unnerstaundin o atomic an subatomic processes. In 1948 the German scienteefic institution the Kaiser Wilhelm Society (o that Planck wis twice preses), wis renamed the Max Planck Society (MPS). The MPS nou includes 83 institutions representin a wide range o scienteefic directions.
