	William Thomson, Baron Kelvin - LoveToKnow 1911
		WILLIAM THOMSON KELVIN, Baron (1824-1907), British physicist, the second son of James Thomson, I.L.D., professor of mathematics in the university of Glasgow, was born at Belfast, Ireland, on the 26th of June 1824, his father being then teacher of mathematics in the Royal Academical Institution.
		In 1841 William Thomson entered Peterhouse, Cambridge, and in 1845 took his degree as second wrangler, to which honour he added that of the first Smith's Prize.
		Thomson's 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 Sumner's method for determining the position of a ship at sea.

		Kelvin wrote at length on the subject of electromagnetic fields, put forward numerous suggestions about the constitution of ether and matter, and laid the foundation for a scientific system of measurement of electrical quantities.
		The theory of signalling by cable originated in a correspondence between Kelvin and Stokes in 1854, and was elaborated by Kelvin and Kirchhoff, while to the former are largely due the practical applications of it.
		Kelvin was a keen yachtsman, and was thus led to take up the problem of compasses; he also bore an active part in the development of electrical engineering.

	The religion of William Thomson, Lord Kelvin, physicist
		Kelvin was foremost among the small group of British scientists who helped to lay the foundations of modern physics.
		Lord Kelvin was an Old Earth creationist, who estimated the Earth's age to be somewhere between 20 million and 100 million years, with an upper limit at 500 million years based on cooling rates (a low estimate due to his lack of knowledge about radiogenic heating).
		Kelvin was a Christian, a follower of Christ, rather than a mere churchman, a contributor to a church.

		The one bit of togetherness Kelvin was able to relay was the night his father had them all in the basement stuffing and licking envelopes for a mass mailing.
		Kelvin caught a good updraft that day and was carried thousands of feet around the mountain.

	Kelvin Color Temperatures
		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.

	Biografia de William Thomson Kelvin
		Kelvin hizo sus estudios en la Universidad de Glasgow y en el Saint Peter's College de Cambridge.
		Kelvin fue el primero en atraer la atención de los científicos al campo de la termodinámica con su descubrimiento del fenómeno de absorción calorífica llamado efecto Thomson (1856).
		Estudiando la compresión de los gases, Kelvin descubrió el efecto Joule-Thomson referente a las variaciones térmicas que sufren los gases cuando son forzados por efecto de una presión a pasar a través de orificios pequeños.

	Mag Lab Education - Pioneers in Electricity and Magnetism: Lord Kelvin (William Thomson)
		Scottish-Irish physicist William Thomson, better known as Lord Kelvin, was one of the most eminent scientists of the 19th century and is best known today for inventing the international system of absolute temperature that bears his name.
		It was from his father that William Thomson became acquainted early with mathematics, including developments in the field that were so new that they had not yet been published in textbooks.
		In the 1850s, their collaboration led to Thomson’s positing a version of the second law of thermodynamics (heat cannot be spontaneously transferred from a colder to a hotter body) and the discovery of the Joule-Thomson effect, in which the temperature of a gas is lowered via expansion from high pressure to low pressure.

		William Thomson, 1st Baron Kelvin, (June 26, 1824 – December 17, 1907) was a mathematical physicist who did important work in thermodynamics.
		William began his course at the same college in his eleventh year, and was noted for his extraordinary speed in solving the problems of his father's class.
		After William Cooke and Charles Wheatstone had introduced their working telegraph in 1839, the idea of a submarine line across the Atlantic Ocean began to be thought of as a possible triumph of the future.

	William Thompson Kelvin biography
		Lord Kelvin acted as engineer for several other cable companies; invented many pieces of electrical apparatus and methods for measurement; and developed an improved form of mariners' compass free from the magnetic action of the iron of the ship, and a deep-sea sounding apparatus, both of which are in widespread use.
		Even as early as 1842 Lord Kelvin had published a paper containing the germ of his theories on the age of the earth, and this subject he constantly discussed and elaborated.
		Lord Kelvin attended the meeting of the British Association held in Montreal in 1884, and afterward he visited Baltimore and delivered at Johns Hopkins University a course of lectures, published in 1904 as Baltimore Lectures on Molecular Dynamics and the Wave Theory of Light.

	Thomson, William (Lord Kelvin) (1824–1907) \| Encyclopedia of Energy
		In the 1850s the Glasgow professor of natural philosophy (physics), William Thomson, and his colleague in engineering science, Macquorn Rankine, revolutionized the traditional language of mechanics with new terms such as "actual" ("kinetic" from 1862) and "potential" energy.
		The fourth child of James and Margaret Thomson, William was born in 1824 in Belfast, then Ireland's leading industrial center, where his father taught mathematics in the politically radical Belfast Academical Institution.
		He was the first British scientist to be thus honored and took the title Kelvin from the tributary of the River Clyde that flowed close to the University of Glasgow.

		William Thomson, 1st Baron Kelvin, was an Irish-Scottish mathematical physicist, engineer, and outstanding leader in the physical sciences of the 19th century.
		William Thomson, 1st Baron Kelvin was created Baron Kelvin in honour of his achievements, named after the river that flowed past his university in Glasgow, Scotland in the UK.
		The Kelvin temperature scale, where zero degrees Kelvin is approximately -459.67 °F on the Fahrenheit scale, essentially the point at which all motion of matter stops in thermodynamic terms, was named after its creator Lord Kelvin, and therefore derives its name from this very river.

		By 1851 his brother had played a major role in formulating the two new thermodynamic laws of energy conservation and irreversible entropic increase; William also identified the existence of an absolute zero of temperature – a key thermodynamic feature of the dynamical theory of heat he advocated.
		In recognition of his public services, he was raised to the peerage in 1892 to become Lord Kelvin – the first scientist to be so honoured in Britain.
		After retiring from his Glasgow post in 1899, Kelvin devoted himself to wider causes, becoming the first president of the IEC in 1906.
