PLANCK, Max (1858-1947). Autograph correspondence card signed ('Planck') to Moritz Schlick, Berlin-Grunewald, 18 November 1919; with an autograph note [to Schlick] on a visiting card, 3 May 1918.
In German, the correspondence card one page, 90 x 140mm, the note three lines on a card, 67 x 108mm. Envelope.
On his receipt of the Nobel Prize. In the card, Planck thanks Schlick for his congratulations – undoubtedly on his receipt of the Nobel Prize in Physics for 1918, which had been announced 5 days previously – and looks forward to seeing him soon, and meeting his wife [Blanche Hardy]: 'Hopefully there will be somewhat less snow then. It is certainly an unbelievably cold November this time'. The note on his visiting card thanks Schlick for birthday wishes.
Planck was awarded the Nobel Prize 'in recognition of the services he rendered to the advancement of Physics by his discovery of energy quanta'. Although his prize was for 1918, it was awarded a year later, as none of the previous year's nominations were considered to have met the criteria. Schlick, the founding father of logical positivism, had studied physics under Planck some years previously; he was at this time teaching at the University of Rostock.
