How the UV catastrophe paved the way for quantum physics
In short: Explore the scientific crisis known as the UV catastrophe, a fundamental failure in classical physics that eventually forced the birth of modern quantum theory.
The video examines the transition from classical physics to the quantum era, focusing on the 'UV catastrophe.' This era of scientific inquiry involves the work of figures such as Max Planck and James Maxwell, and explores the foundational shifts in atomic theory and modern physics.
