Lord Kelvin

Lord Kelvin, born William Thomson, was a renowned physicist and engineer who made significant contributions to thermodynamics and the understanding of heat energy. He helped develop the absolute temperature scale, known as Kelvin, which measures temperature starting from absolute zero—the point where particles have minimal thermal motion. Kelvin also contributed to improving the efficiency of engines and understanding electrical phenomena. His work laid foundational principles for modern physics and engineering, helping us better understand energy transfer, temperature, and the nature of heat in practical and scientific contexts.
