For centuries, physics was a world of certainty—planets orbited predictably, forces followed rules, and everything seemed explainable. But by the late 19th century, cracks started to form. The rules of classical mechanics couldn’t explain bizarre new discoveries: light behaving strangely, atoms emitting weird patterns, and a supposed “catastrophe” lurking in the ultraviolet spectrum.
Scientists were puzzled— explore the moment when Newtonian Mechanics hit a wall, forcing physicists to rethink reality itself. From Newton’s perfect universe to the mysteries that broke it, this is the story of a scientific revolution in the making
