Abstract

When Planck started his academic studies, he was discouraged from studying physics by his future teacher, who claimed that most problems of physics were already solved. Many ground-breaking new theories have disproved this view and many more mysteries remain unsolved to this day. A particularly puzzling field of physics are the properties of amorphous solids. Having been in focus of great research efforts for more than a century, fundamental properties of these materials are still not clear on a basic level.
