Louis de Broglie's Birth Card: The Jack of Clubs

1929 Physics

Born August 15, 1892

Died March 19, 1987

The Creative Messenger

A birth card is a calendar coordinate for the month and day. It is not fortune-telling and does not predict a Nobel Prize.

In the record

Louis Victor Pierre Raymond, 7th Duc de Broglie (French: [də bʁɔj] ; 15 August 1892 – 19 March 1987) was a French theoretical physicist and aristocrat known for his contributions to quantum theory. The birth-card coordinate for August 15 is the Jack of Clubs — a calendar position, not a forecast of the 1929 Physics prize.

No one else in this set holds the 1929 Physics prize; Louis de Broglie appears here as its sole listed laureate. The award was divided; this laureate's listed portion is 1.

222 other Physics laureates in this set carry a birth-card coordinate.

The Jack of Clubs coordinate

Louis de Broglie's birthday maps to the Jack of Clubs (The Creative Messenger). Card Blueprints treats that as a 365-day coordinate: solar value = 55 − (2 × month + day), and the year is unused. It is not a prediction about a Nobel Prize and not a verdict on Louis de Broglie. The card's own language, quoted as system copy rather than biography: You bring a new angle and you let someone pressure-test it before it ships.

Louis de Broglie in the public record

In his 1924 Ph.D. thesis, he postulated the wave nature of electrons and suggested that all matter has wave properties. This concept is known as the de Broglie hypothesis, an example of wave–particle duality, and forms a central part of the theory of quantum mechanics. In 1929, de Broglie won the Nobel Prize in Physics, after the wave-like behaviour of matter was experimentally confirmed in 1927. This confirmation earned George Paget Thomson and Clinton Davisson the Nobel in 1937. The wave-like behaviour of particles theorized by de Broglie was used by Erwin Schrödinger in his formulation of wave mechanics. De Broglie presented an alternative interpretation of these mechanics called the pilot-wave concept at the 1927 Solvay Conferences, but then abandoned it. In 1952, David Bohm developed a new form of the concept which became known as the de Broglie–Bohm theory. De Broglie revisited the idea in 1956, creating another version that incorporated ideas from Bohm and Jean-Pierre Vigier.

Where the record meets the Jack of Clubs

A card is a calendar coordinate, not a cause. What follows sets one line of the card's own published language beside one sentence of the sourced record, paired by a documented rule. It is a resemblance offered for the reader to weigh — not a claim about Louis de Broglie, and not a forecast of a Nobel Prize.

Birth card and karma

Life Spread (Mercury → Result / Cosmic Reward)

The planetary ruling card for this birthday is the birth card itself, J♣, so it adds no further cards to the path.

Birth card from the month and day. Karma cards are fixed to the birth card. The planetary ruling card comes from the sun sign's ruling planet — the signs with two rulers carry two. The Life Spread is the birth card's fixed row of nine in the Life Spread — the cards that colour each 52-day period for life. Planetary period and long-range cards move year by year and are not shown on a static page.

FAQ

What is Louis de Broglie's birth card?
The Jack of Clubs. August 15 maps to that card through the public Card Blueprints formula. The year of birth is not used.
Does a birth card predict a Nobel Prize?
No. These pages are coordinates, not fortune-telling. A birth card names a calendar day in a 52-card year. It does not forecast prizes, character, or fate.
Where do Louis de Broglie's dates come from?
Birth date 1892-08-15 is the Nobel Prize API v2.1 day-precision date, verified against Wikidata P569 (CC0, day precision, Gregorian preferred). The two sources match. Year-only Nobel dates and Nobel↔Wikidata conflicts are dropped, not guessed. Page hooks and evidence come from the Wikipedia REST summary (CC BY-SA 4.0).
