Physics Explained is a channel that explores advanced topics in physics without skimping on the mathematical detail. There is a growing community of independent learners who are keen to explore modern ideas in physics with the aid of mathematical reasoning. This channel aims to tackle advanced topics head on whilst at the same time providing a historical narrative to help provide context to the ideas. A bit about my educational background: I have a PhD in theoretical physics, specialising in string theory. I now dedicate most of my my time to physics education.

Video Description
This video provides a detailed explanation of the ultraviolet catastrophe and Max Planck's solution to the problem following the presentation of Esiberg and Resnick in their textbook 'Quantum physics of atoms, molecules, solids, nuclei and particles'. The work of Rayleigh and Jeans is discussed in detail, as well as the quantum hypothesis proposed by Planck.
