Happy 200th birthday Lord Kelvin! #Kelvin200
University of Glasgow
@UofGlasgow26 Jun 2024
Today is the bicentenary of the birth of Lord Kelvin! @heraldscotland has a fantastic #Kelvin200 article looking at Kelvin’s life and legacy with comments from @martin_astro of @UofGPhysAstro and Dr Nicky Reeves of @hunterian. ⬇️ heraldscotland.com/news/2441…

Lord Kelvin: a Scottish genius who changed the world on a grand scale

William Thomson’s life at the University of Glasgow began aged 10. When he died 73 years later, not only had he earned a global reputation as one of the 19th century’s most accomplished scientists...
