Max Karl Ernst Ludwig Planck byl německý fyzik, považovaný za jednoho ze zakladatelů kvantové teorie. Studoval u vynikajících německých fyziků Helmholtze a Kirchhoffa. V červenci 1879 získal doktorát na mnichovské univerzitě. V roce 1880 dokončil dizertační práci a stal se soukromým docentem na mnichovské univerzitě. V roce 1885 byl s pomocí otce jmenován mimořádným profesorem na univerzitě v Kielu. V roce 1892 nastoupil po Helmholtzovi na místo řádného profesora teoretické fyziky na berlínské univerzitě. V Berlíně pak působil až do konce své vědecké kariéry.

„Science cannot solve the ultimate mystery of nature. And that is because, in the last analysis, we ourselves are part of nature and therefore part of the mystery that we are trying to solve.“
— Max Planck, Where is Science Going?
Where is Science Going? (1932)
Variants:
Science cannot solve the ultimate mystery of nature. And that is because, in the last analysis, we ourselves are a part of the mystery that we are trying to solve.
Science cannot solve the ultimate mystery of nature, for in the final analysis we ourselves are part of the mystery we are trying to solve.
„It is not the possession of truth, but the success which attends the seeking after it, that enriches the seeker and brings happiness to him.“

Where Is Science Going? (1932)
„An experiment is a question which science poses to Nature and a measurement is the recording of Nature's answer.“
— Max Planck, Scientific Autobiography and Other Papers
Context: Experimenters are the schocktroops of science… An experiment is a question which science poses to Nature, and a measurement is the recording of Nature’s answer. But before an experiment can be performed, it must be planned – the question to nature must be formulated before being posed. Before the result of a measurement can be used, it must be interpreted – Nature’s answer must be understood properly. These two tasks are those of theorists, who find himself always more and more dependent on the tools of abstract mathematics.
Scientific Autobiography and Other Papers (1949)
„In other words, the fundamental principles and indispensable postulates of every genuinely productive science are not based on pure logic but rather on the metaphysical hypothesis – which no rules of logic can refute – that there exists an outer world which is entirely independent of ourselves. It is only through the immediate dictate of our consciousness that we know that this world exists. And that consciousness may to a certain degree be called a special sense.“

„The first and most important quality of all scientific ways of thinking must be the clear distinction between the outer object of observation and the subjective nature of the observer.“

„Farsighted theologians are now working to mine the eternal metal from the teachings of Jesus and to forge it for all time.“

From Planck to Study (2 December 1913), (Autog. I/383, SPK); as quoted in The Dilemmas of an Upright Man : Max Planck As Spokesman for German Science (1986) by J. L. Heilbron, p. 67
„It [science] has as its highest principle and most coveted aim the solution of the problem to condense all natural phenomena which have been observed and are still to be observed into one simple principle, that allows the computation of past and more especially of future processes from present ones.... Amid the more or less general laws which mark the achievements of physical science during the course of the last centuries, the principle of least action is perhaps that which, as regards form and content, may claim to come nearest to that ideal final aim of theoretical research.“

„Under these conditions it is no wonder, that the movement of atheists, which declares religion to be just a deliberate illusion, invented by power-seeking priests, and which has for the pious belief in a higher Power nothing but words of mockery, eagerly makes use of progressive scientific knowledge and in a presumed unity with it, expands in an ever faster pace its disintegrating action on all nations of the earth and on all social levels. I do not need to explain in any more detail that after its victory not only all the most precious treasures of our culture would vanish, but — which is even worse — also any prospects at a better future.“
