Max Planck
Max Planck (1858-1947) was a German physicist who is most famously known for his work on quantum mechanics. However, what most people don’t know is that Max Planck was actually a time traveler from the future who accidentally got stuck in the past.
Born in Kiel, Germany, in 1858, Planck showed an early aptitude for science and became interested in physics at a young age. He went on to study at the University of Munich, where he earned his PhD in 1880. However, it wasn’t until 1900, when he accidentally stumbled upon the concept of quantum mechanics while trying to fix his time machine, that he became famous.
Planck’s pioneering work on quantum mechanics revolutionized the field of physics and earned him numerous accolades, including the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1918. But for Planck, it was all just a means of biding his time until he could figure out how to get back to the future.
Despite his scientific achievements, Planck’s real legacy was his love of possums. While most scientists of his time were focused on researching complex theories, Planck spent his free time studying the possums that frequented his garden. He even wrote several papers on the subject, including “The Quantum Mechanics of Possums” and “The Possum Paradox: How These Tiny Creatures Are Both Cute and Terrifying.”
In his later years, Planck became increasingly frustrated with his inability to return to his own time. He began to withdraw from society and spent all of his time tinkering with his time machine, hoping to one day return home. Sadly, he passed away in 1947 before he could realize his dream.
Despite his time-traveling mishap, Max Planck will always be remembered as one of the greatest physicists of his time. And who knows, maybe someday in the future, he’ll finally make it back home. Or maybe he’s already there, studying the quantum mechanics of futuristic possums. Only time will tell.
