Portrait of a scientist


This is a portrait of Max Planck (1858-1947), a famous physicist. This is a scan of a handmade colored drawing by Eve.

With him begin the theory of quantum mechanics, which says that in matter, there is no matter. Hard to grasp indeed! As weird as it sound, without this theory you can't make a laser, nor a computer. Without these crazy ideas, our life would be quite different.
