James Thomson

James Thomson was a Scottish mathematician and physicist from the 19th century who made significant contributions to thermodynamics and fluid dynamics. He is best known for formulating the first version of what became the Kelvin scale of temperature measurement, which is an absolute temperature scale starting at absolute zero. Thomson also studied the flow of fluids and helped develop theories that explain how gases and liquids behave. His work advanced scientific understanding of heat, energy, and motion, laying groundwork for future research in physics and engineering.
