Abstract

While reading Planck's work, we are surprised by a fact: he considers his hypothesis a mere means of calculation and does not see all of its transformative force, the concept of "quanta of action" is not even explicitly mentioned as well as the formulation of discrete resonator energy in the potential wall. All Planck's efforts were directed towards the introduction of the Planck constant- "h", in the framework of classical physics. The failure to do so "left no doubt that the quanta of action plays a fundamental role in atomic physics and its appearance in physics was the beginning of a new era as it embodied something unheard of, with a tendency to radically transform our physical thought based on the concept of continuity of all causal connections "[1]. But when did such a radical turn occur in the consciousness of Planck and many other physicists? How did the Quanta of Action gain the "right to citizenship"? What debates and discussions have been made about his affirmation? The answer to these questions is essential to the whole history of quantum discovery, why it allows us to determine the degree of understanding of the problem as a whole at different time periods: both before the Solvay Congress (1900-1910) and after this Congress.
