It was Max Planck who led the Quantum Revolution at the start of the 20th century with his theory that light came in chunks - tiny packets of energy known as "quanta". This proved to be the solution to the ultraviolet catastrophe. A problem that Physicists at the time were puzzled over.
Btw, does anyone else besides me know more about science than any other subject?
Anyway, the ultraviolet catastrophe assumed that there was no end to the quantity of electromagnetic waves emitted from objects when heated to a high temperature. Proposing the idea that frequency or color was related to the energy given off proved to be the answer that led to the Quantum revolution. Notable figures include Einstein, Bohr and Rutherford.
