Quantization of Energy Part 1: Blackbody Radiation and the Ultraviolet Catastrophe

The video discusses the ultraviolet catastrophe, a problem in classical physics where models failed to predict the behavior of blackbody radiation. Max Planck resolved this by introducing quantization, suggesting that energy is not continuous but comes in discrete units. This concept, marked by Planck's constant, was revolutionary, leading to the quantum revolution and changing our understanding of physics.
