Abstract

Pursuit toward unity was a main thread of Planck's scientific thought and ran through his entire scientific career. The deep reason for Planck to re-examine and modify Energy Quantum Hypothesis was that he felt it was threatening and destroying the faith of unity buried in his deep heart. Modifying Energy Quantum Hypothesis was a special product combining the real situation of theoretical physics in the time and Planck's faith of unity.Faith of unity exerted double influence on Planck's scientific activities,both making him obtain highest scientific accomplishment and bringing him utmost psychological torture. Therefore,we could say that Planck was a typical scientist once in a dilemma caused by his faith of science.
