Why did Max Planck give up deterministic continuum physics?
In an "act of despair" Planck gave up deterministic continuum physics for statistics of of particles and thus opened the door to modern physics with wave-particle duality viewed as a resolution of the inescapable contradiction between wave and particle.
How did Maxwell and Planck come up with a resolution?
After much agony and battle with his scienti c soul, in 1900 Planck came up with a resolution which involved a depart from the concept of light as a deterministic wave phenomenon described by Maxwell's equations, to a description by statistics of particles or quanta of energy named photons.
