Max Planck (1858-1947) was a physicist and early contributor to quantum mechanics. In 1900 he presented his theory of blackbody radiation, which introduced the idea that electromagnetic radiation is comprised of individual energy quanta, what are now referred to as photons.
So-called Planck units are obtained by combining fundamental physical constants in combinations that produce quantities such as length, time, and mass.
