"William Thomson?"
Upon hearing this name.
Xu Yun's expression momentarily stiffened imperceptibly.
Even his breath skipped a beat.
Initially, he once thought that this Thomson might very well be the JJ Thomson who discovered the electron.
But who could have thought.....
This person turned out to be the fellow scientist William Thomson?
In fact, compared to the name William Thomson, another title of his might be more widely known:
Lord Kelvin.
Exactly!
The very inventor of the thermodynamic temperature scale, the famed father of thermodynamics.
The Kelvin temperature mentioned frequently in physics textbooks is indeed the work of this man.
William Thomson was born on June 26, 1824, in Belfast, Ireland. His father James was a math professor at the Belfast Royal Academy, and the family moved to Glasgow, Scotland when Thomson was eight years old.
