William Thompson (Lord Kelvin)

William Thomson, known as Lord Kelvin, was a 19th-century physicist and engineer. He made significant contributions to thermodynamics, helping us understand how heat and energy move and transform. Kelvin established the absolute temperature scale, now called the Kelvin scale, which is fundamental in science. He worked on understanding electricity, magnetism, and the measurement of the Earth's age. His insights laid the groundwork for many modern technologies, including steam engines and refrigeration. Kelvin's work helped us better grasp natural laws, shaping both scientific understanding and practical engineering.
