Everything about Philipp Von Jolly totally explained
Johann Philipp Gustav von Jolly (
September 26 1809 –
December 24 1884 in
Munich) was a German
physicist and
mathematician.
Born in
Mannheim as the son of merchant Louis Jolly and Marie Eleonore Jolly, he studied science in Heidelberg, Vienna and Berlin. After his studies, he was appointed professor of mathematics in Heidelberg in 1839 and in physics in 1846. He moved to Munich in 1854 where he took the position once held by
Georg Simon Ohm. In 1854 he was knighted (and henceforth referred to as von Jolly).
Jolly was first and foremost an experimental physicist. He measured acceleration due to gravity with precision weights and also worked on osmosis.
One of his students at the
University of Munich was
Max Planck, whom he advised in 1878 not to go into physics, saying, "in this field, almost everything is already discovered, and all that remains is to fill a few unimportant holes." Planck replied that he didn't wish to discover new things, only to understand the known fundamentals of the field. Nevertheless, Planck's work opened up the field of
quantum physics.
