What is the use of running when you are on the wrong road?
—Bavarian Proverb
No worries, though—my name is Lederhosen Pug, and I know the way (知道).
And today that way weaves its way through theoretical physics. You see, a little wunderkind was born in Holstein, and moved to Munich as a lad.
And now it is hard to turn a corner anywhere in Germany without finding a Max Planck Straße (oder Platz). If you know anything about the history of physics, you know his name, and know well that he and a certain professor named Albert Einstein were colleagues and friends.
Max Planck
Max Planck lived through two world wars, and all of the problems (in all sorts of ways) they brought. He changed twentieth century physics, and he now has changed the signage from Berlin to Munich.
