	William Thomson, 1st Baron Kelvin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Thomson took part in the laying of the French Atlantic submarine communications cable of 1869, and with Jenkin was engineer of the Western and Brazilian and Platino-Brazilian cables, assisted by vacation student James Alfred Ewing.
		Thomson contended that the speed of a signal through a given core was inversely proportional to the square of the length of the core.
		Thomson ultimately settled on an estimate that the Earth was 100,000,000 years old but by the time of his death it was becoming apparent that the effects of radioactivity accounted for a much greater age.

		Thomsons work in connection with telegraphy led to the production in rapid succession of instruments adapted to the requirements of the time for the measurement of every electrical quantity, and when electric lighting came to the front a new set of instruments was produced to meet the needs of the electrical engineer.
		In 1832 James Thomson accepted the chair of mathematics at Glasgow, and migrated thither with his two Sons, James and William, who in 1834 matriculated in that university, William being then little more than ten years of age, and having acquired all his early education through his fathers instruction.
		Thomsons tide gauge, tidal harmonic analyser and tide predicter are famous, and among his work in the interest of navigation must be mentioned his tables for the simplification of Sumners method for determining the position of a ship at sea.
