	Kelvin, William Thomson, 1st Baron - MSN Encarta
		William Thomson Kelvin was born in Belfast, Ireland, on June 26, 1824, and educated at the universities of Glasgow and Cambridge.
		Kelvin also investigated the oscillatory nature of electrical discharge, the electrodynamic properties of metals, and the mathematical treatment of magnetism, and he contributed to the theory of elasticity.
		Kelvin was knighted in 1866 and was raised to the peerage with the title of Baron Kelvin of Largs in 1892.

	William Thomson, 1st Baron Kelvin at AllExperts
		William Thomson, 1st Baron Kelvin, GCVO, OM, PC, PRS FRSE (26 June, 1824 – 17 December, 1907) was an Irish-Scottish mathematical physicist, engineer, and outstanding leader in the physical sciences of the 19th century.
		William began study at Glasgow University in 1834 at the age of 10, not out of any precociousness; the University provided many of the facilities of an elementary school for abler pupils and this was a typical starting age.
		Thomson contended that the speed of a signal through a given core was inversely proportional to the square of the length of the core.

	William Thomson, 1st Baron Kelvin Summary
		Thomson proposed in 1848 that it was the gas' energy of motion, not its volume, that was decreased by the falling temperature.
		Thomson's first achievement as a professor was an attempt to establish the age of the Earth based on mathematical models representing the difference in temperature between the Earth and the sun.

		Surprisingly, Thomson did not send Joule a copy of his paper but when Joule eventually read it he wrote to Thomson on 6 October, claiming that his studies had demonstrated conversion of heat into work but that he was planning further experiments.
		Thomson returned to critique Carnot's original publication and read his analysis to the Royal Society of Edinburgh in January 1849,- (1949) "An account of Carnot's theory of the motive power of heat; with numerical results deduced from Regnault's experiments on steam" Math.
		Thomson remained a devout believer in Christianity throughout his life and saw chapel as part of his daily routine,McCartney and Whitaker (2002), reproduced on Institute of Physics website (http://physicsweb.org/articles/world/15/12/6) though he might not identify with fundamentalism if he were alive today.Sharlin (1979) p.

	Lord Kelvin
		The Right Honourable William Thomson, 1st Baron Kelvin, GCVO, OM, PC, PRS (26 June 1824–17 December 1907) was a Scottish-Irish mathematical physicist and engineer, an outstanding leader in the physical sciences of the 19th century.
		Thomson sailed on board the cable-laying ship Agamemnon in August 1857, with Whitehouse confined to land owing to illness, but the voyage ended after just 380 miles when the cable parted.
		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.
