Abstract
Here we present some results that would possibly have attracted the attention of the physics community in the early days of quantum mechanics in such a way that its development could have been different from what we see today. We will first present a derivation of Planck's blackbody spectrum radiation without the hypothesis of quantized energy levels of the oscillator, the only additional hypothesis to the classical theory being the existence of zeropoint fluctuations in the electromagnetic field, and this would stand as a nontrivial vacuum which could be inferred by classical means. After doing this, we derive the Unruh-Hawking effect for the electromagnetic field in a purely undulatory context, without dualities and without photons, and one question, among many others, arises after these statements: What would be the development of quantum mechanics if Planck was aware of these possibilities?
