I wish I was taught the birth of Quantum Mechanics this way!

An ultraviolet catastrophe. Chapters: 00:00 We thought Physics was complete 01:11 What's the issue with hot glowing things? (Black Body Radiation) 02:50 Standing waves are awesome! 05:30 Jean's cube is even more awesome! 07:56 Nothing is impossible (If you break it down) 09:32 Rediscovering equipartition theorem 13:26 Boltzmann & Maxwell are awesome! (What is temperature?) 14:35 Applying Equipartition theorem to light. (The disaster begins) 16:19 The last piece of the puzzle (Standing waves in 2D/3D) 18:24 The ultraviolet catastrophe (Rayleigh Jean's law - intuition) 20:48 Complete intuition for the ultraviolet catastrophe!
