Golden Age of physics

Golden Age of physics

The Golden Age of physics is an informal description of the development of the theory of relativity and quantum physics during the early 20th century.

Its beginning can be set at 1900, as Max Planck published a paper about blackbody radiation, and its end at 1945 as the first atomic bombs were detonated.
