	Beating Kelvin's partition of space (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		In 1887, Lord Kelvin asked how to partition space into cells of volume 1 such that the total area of the interfaces between the cells is a minimum.
		The area calculations and these images were made with the Surface Evolver program, with the datafiles twointor.fe for Kelvin's partition, and phelanc.fe for the Weaire-Phelan partition.

	Kelvin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The kelvin (symbol: K) is the SI unit of temperature, and is one of the seven SI base units.
		This is because the latter are adjectives, whereas kelvin is a noun.
		When the kelvin was introduced in 1954 (10th General Conference on Weights and Measures (CGPM), Resolution 3, CR 79), it was the "degree Kelvin", and written °K; the "degree" and the uppercase K was dropped in 1967 (13th CGPM, Resolution 3, CR 104).

	William Thomson, 1st Baron Kelvin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		William Thomson, 1st Baron Kelvin, GCVO, OM, PC, PRS (26 June 1824–17 December 1907) was an Irish-Scottish mathematical physicist and engineer, an outstanding leader in the physical sciences of the 19th century.
		He invented the current balance, also known as the Kelvin balance or Ampere balance (sic), for the precise specification of the Ampere, the standard unit of electric current.

	KELVIN TEMPERATURE SCALE - Chemistry Glossary
		Kelvin is a temperature scale designed so that zero degrees K is defined as absolute zero (at absolute zero, a hypothetical temperature, all molecular movement stops - all actual temperatures are above absolute zero) and the size of one unit is the same as the size of one degree Celsius.
		In addition to his work on temperature, Kelvin invented over 50 devices (including the mirror galvanometer, which detects and measures weak electric fields), discovered the second law of thermodynamics (the amount of usable energy in the universe is decreasing), and wrote hundreds of scientific papers.
		Kelvin is buried in Westminster Abbey (London, England) next to the grave of Sir Isaac Newton.

	Base unit definitions: Kelvin
		The definition of the unit of thermodynamic temperature was given in substance by the 10th CGPM (1954) which selected the triple point of water as the fundamental fixed point and assigned to it the temperature 273.16 K, so defining the unit.
		The kelvin, unit of thermodynamic temperature, is the fraction 1/273.16 of the thermodynamic temperature of the triple point of water.
		The kelvin and the degree Celsius are also the units of the International Temperature Scale of 1990 (ITS-90) adopted by the CIPM in 1989.

		Kelvin’s starting hypothesis was that the earth had cooled to its present condition from an initially molten state (correct).
		Kelvin did face the problem that, starting with a molten world, life could live on it only when it had cooled enough.
		Rutherford, at a lecture at the Royal Institution in London, made the point, at which Kelvin in attendance, but asleep, woke up ("I saw the old bird sit up, open an eye and cock a baleful glance at me!"), that the energy released in rock by radioactive decay is converted to heat.

		Kelvin had an excellent grasp of all aspects of physics: heat, light, sound, electricity.
		It was Kelvin's involvement in submarine telegraphy, and the laying of the first transatlantic telegraph cable in 1866, which made him internationally famous however, as well as his redesigned nautical compass and sounding equipment

	Kelvin Grove, New Zealand - Index
		Kelvin Grove, for those who don't know it, is located on the 'right' side of the tracks alongside the city of Palmerston North, which in turn is located in Manawatu, a region in New Zealand's lower North Island.
		The establishment of Kelvin Grove as a distinct district began with the opening on Kelvin Grove School in 1893, its name being drawn from the name of a sawmill that had opened in 1879 in the vicinity of the Kaimanawa Street-Bryce Place intersection.
		Kelvin Grove School closed in 1939, as the larger Milson and Terrace End Schools were more attractive (and frequently closer) to parents.

	§ 16. Centigrade / Celsius / Kelvin. 4. Science Terms. The American Heritage Book of English Usage. 1996
		Rather than using the freezing and boiling points of water at 1 atmosphere of pressure, the degree interval Celsius was set equal to the degree interval Kelvin, and 0 °C was set equal to 273.15 degree Kelvin.
		Thus, the Kelvin scale became the fundamental temperature scale.
		The fundamental temperature interval would be called simply kelvin (with a lowercase k), and the symbol would be K without any degree symbol (°).

		The kelvin (symbol: K) is a unit to measure temperature.
		It is defined by two factors: zero kelvin is absolute zero (when molecular motion stops), and one kelvin is the fraction 1/273.16 of the thermodynamic temperature of the triple point of water (0.01 °C).
		The kelvin as an SI unit is correctly written with a lowercase k (unless at the beginning of a sentence), and is never preceded by the words degree or degrees, or the symbol °, like Fahrenheit, Celsius or centigrade.

		Color Temperature is a measurement in Degrees Kelvin that indicates the hue of a specific type of light source.
		In his honor, Color Temperatures are measured in degrees Kelvin, which are a variation on Centigrade degrees.
		(Subtract 273 from a Kelvin temperature, and you get the equivalent in Centigrade.) However, the color temperatures attributed to different types of lights are correlated based on visible colors matching a standard fl body, and are not the actual temperature at which a filament burns.

		Kelvin's work was so important and he was so well known that he became the first British scientist elevated to the peerage, and when he died, he was buried in Westminster Abbey near Isaac Newton.
		The "tragedy" of the book's title is that the old Kelvin became something of a crank, sticking "with blind stubbornness" to ideas about radioactivity, electromagnetism and the age of the earth in the face of contrary evidence accumulating at the turn of the century.
		Kelvin's life was filled with frenetic, joyous work on projects that fascinated him, and he was appreciated during his lifetime for his contributions.
