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.
„We have no right to assume that any physical laws exist, or if they have existed up to now, that they will continue to exist in a similar manner in the future.“
— Max Planck
The Universe in the Light of Modern Physics (1931)
„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.“
— Max Planck
Where is science going? The Universe in the light of modern physics. (1932)
„As a man who has devoted his whole life to the most clearheaded science, to the study of matter, I can tell you as a result of my research about the atoms this much: There is no matter as such! All matter originates and exists only by virtue of a force which brings the particles of an atom to vibration and holds this most minute solar system of the atom together…. We must assume behind this force the existence of a conscious and intelligent Spirit. This Spirit is the matrix of all matter.“
— Max Planck
Das Wesen der Materie [The Nature of Matter], a 1944 speech in Florence, Italy, Archiv zur Geschichte der Max‑ Planck‑ Gesellschaft, Abt. Va, Rep. 11 Planck, Nr. 1797; the German original is as quoted in The Spontaneous Healing of Belief https://archive.org/stream/GreggBradenTheSpontaneousHealingOfBelief/Gregg%20Braden/Gregg%20Braden%20-%20The%20Spontaneous%20Healing%20Of%20Belief#page/n1 (2008) by Gregg Braden, p. 212; Braden mistranslates intelligenten Geist as "intelligent Mind", which is an obvious tautology.
„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)
„I regard consciousness as fundamental. I regard matter as derivative from consciousness. We cannot get behind consciousness. Everything that we talk about, everything that we regard as existing, postulates consciousness.“
