The observation of the photoelectric effect and the absorption/emission spectra of the hydrogen atom and the modifications required to formulate the blackbody emission theory were the triggers that forced the development of quantum mechanics. As pointed out in the introduction, the development of quantum mechanics is based on postulates, rather than axioms. The form of some of these postulates can be visualized from other principles, but their adoption as “the truth” came from the fact that they produced the correct results.
