Lord Kelvin, circa 1900: "Physics is basically finished, just need more decimal places."
Planck's constant: *exists*
Quantum mechanics has entered the chat and shot an arrow of uncertainty through Kelvin's medieval helmet of classical determinism. The number in the title (6.62607015×10−34 J⋅Hz−1) is Planck's constant, the fundamental quantum of action that destroyed classical physics' dream of perfect predictability. It's the scientific equivalent of saying "F" to pay respects to Lord Kelvin's hilariously wrong prediction. Turns out physics had a few surprises left after all.
