About this eBook

Max Planck was unintentionally a revolutionary. In fact, in dealing with a thorny problem that afflicted physics at the end of the 19th century (the black body emission spectrum) he used a mathematical trick to ensure the convergence of what mathematicians call the "integral generalized". And not only that, his solution was in perfect agreement with the experimental data. "Unfortunately" (for Planck who adhered to the paradigm of classical physics), what he had used was much more than a simple artifice: Nature was revealing something very interesting to us.

Marcello Colozzo, a graduate in Physics, has been involved in online teaching of Mathematics and Physics since 2008 through the Extra Byte website where "simulations" are performed in the Mathematica computing environment. In recent years he has published various articles on mathematical physics and collaborates with the Electronic Open Source magazine. An avid reader of cyberpunk fiction, he has attempted to transition into "cyber writer" status by publishing various anthologies of short stories.
