... the theory of everything (which has not been discovered, yet). In 1900 German physicist, Max Plank did an experiment in which he made a box out of a material that is black and does not reflect electromagnetic radiation. The box should emit electromagnetic waves because of its temperature. Due to its size, and because the amplitude of an electromagnetic wave at the surface of ... , h is Plank's constant, and is the amplitude of the wave function (Krane 117). From this function, many conclusions can be derived. One of them is that when a particle is in a box, it can have only certain speed...
