In the space of a single year, a cautious German professor who disapproved of revolutions produced two numbers that would shape the century after him. One of them was measured. The other was manufactured. Nobody, including him, ever wrote the difference down. The first was the quantum of action, squeezed out of infrared readings taken by instrument builders in a Berlin laboratory founded to help the lamp industry sell brighter lamps. It was a real quantity, extracted from real dials, and it has survived every revision physics has thrown at it since.

In the winter of 1604, a man with ruined eyesight and crippled hands sat in a rented room in Prague, comparing a column of numbers against a curve he had drawn by hand, and found that the two disagreed by an amount roughly equal to the width of a coin seen from across a wide room. Everyone he knew would have called that agreement. He called it a problem, and spent the next five years destroying the most beautiful idea he had ever had in order to fix it. Johannes Kepler has been reduced, in most retellings, to three tidy statements in a physics textbook.
