Lord Kelvin's Machine Published by Ace, 1992 ISBN 0-441-49972-4 "They're a dangerous breed when they go ferral, academics are." Langdon St. Ives clashes again with Dr. Narbondo, who has murdered the gentleman-scientist's wife and is threatening to use volcanoes to push the earth slightly closer to the path of an approaching comet. This means that the earth's magnetic fields will attract the comet's iron core, thus making collision and the destruction of life on earth certain. The Royal Academy intend to counter this threat by reversing the planet's magnetic poles; this, they believe, will cause a brief period wherein the earth will have no electromagnetic field at all, thus allowing the comet to sail safely by. The great Lord Kelvin is at work on a device to effect this. St. Ives, meanwhile, is convinced that the Academy's plan will irradiate the earth. He has some save-the-world ideas involving volcanoes (and the hollow-earth theory) himself. This is only the beginning, though. Lord Kelvin's machine has other uses, as a time machine, for instance, and there is unfinished business between St. Ives and the possibly-late Dr. Narbondo.

William Thomson Lord Kelvin Born: 26 June 1824 in Belfast, Ireland Died: 17 Dec 1907 in Netherhall (near Largs), Ayrshire, Scotland William Thomson 's thermodynamics studies led to his proposal of an absolute scale of temperature. The Kelvin absolute temperature scale derives its name from the title, Baron Kelvin of Largs, that Thomson received from the British government in 1892. Thomson attended Glasgow University from the age of 10. While there he read Fourier's work on the application of abstract mathematics to heat flow. In 1841 Thomson entered Cambridge and took his BA in 1845. In that year he read George Green's work which had a major influence on Thomson's work. Thomson was appointed professor of natural philosophy at the University of Glasgow in 1846 and remained there for the rest of his career. In 1847-49 he collaborated with Stokes on hydrodynamical studies, which Thomson applied to electrical and atomic theory. The absolute scale he proposed in 1848 was based on a theory of heat by Sadi Carnot. Thomson also observed (1852) what is now called the Joule-Thomson effect, namely that the decrease in temperature of a gas when it expands in a vacuum.

Branch of Science Mathematicians Branch of Science Physicists ... Scottish Kelvin, Lord William Thomson (1824-1907) Scottish mathematician and physicist who contributed to many branches of physics. He was known for his self-confidence, and as an undergraduate at Cambridge he thought himself the sure "Senior Wrangler" (the name given to the student who scored highest on the Cambridge mathematical Tripos exam). After taking the exam he asked his servant, "Oh, just run down to the Senate House, will you, and see who is Second Wrangler." The servant returned and informed him, " You, sir!" (Campbell and Higgens, p. 98, 1984). Another example of his hubris is provided by his 1895 statement "heavier-than-air flying machines are impossible" (Australian Institute of Physics), followed by his 1896 statement, "I have not the smallest molecule of faith in aerial navigation other than ballooning...I would not care to be a member of the Aeronautical Society." Kelvin is also known for an address to an assemblage of physicists at the British Association for the advancement of Science in 1900 in which he stated, "There is nothing new to be discovered in physics now. All that remains is more and more precise measurement." A similar statement is attributed to the American physicist Albert Michelson Kelvin argued that the key issue in the interpretation of the Second Law of Thermodynamics was the explanation of irreversible processes. He noted that if entropy always increased, the universe would eventually reach a state of uniform temperature and maximum entropy from which it would not be possible to extract any work. He called this the Heat Death of the Universe. With

Back to Modern History Sourcebook Modern History Sourcebook: Sir WilliamThomson (Lord Kelvin) Wave Theory Of Light, 1884 Introductory Note Lord Kelvin's activities were remarkable for both profundity and range. A large number of his results are to be appreciated only by the highly skilled mathematician and physicist; but his speculations on the ultimate constitution of matter; his statement of the principle of the dissipation of energy, with its bearing upon the age of life on the earth; his calculations as to the age of the earth itself, and much more, are of great general interest. His fertility in practical invention was no less notable. He contrived a large number of instruments; his services to navigation and ocean telegraphy being especially valuable. Long before his death he was recognized as the most distinguished man of science of his time and country, and he was also the most loved. The lectures which follow are favorable examples of his power of exposition in subjects in which he had no superior. Part I.

He also corresponded with an array of other important scientists such as George Fitzgerald, Hermann von Helmholtz, James Joule, James Clerk Maxwell and George Gabriel Stokes. Thomson was educated at Glasgow and Cambridge universities, and from 1846 until 1899 was professor of natural philosophy at Glasgow. He was elected a fellow of the Royal Society in 1851, knighted in 1866 and elevated to the peerage as Lord Kelvin in 1892.

His master mind, soaring high, sees one vast connected whole http://32.1911encyclopedia.org/K/KE/KELVIN_WILLIAM_THOMSON_BARON.htm

WILLIAM THOMSON, BARON KELVIN KELVIN, WILLIAM THOMSON, BARON Thomson proposed his absolute scale of temperature, which is independent of the properties of any particular thermometric substance, and in 1851 he presented to the Royal Society of Edinburgh a paper on the dynamical theory of heat, which reconciled the work of N. L. Sadi Carnot with the conclusions of Count Rumford, Sir H. Davy, J. R. Mayer and Joule, and placed the dynamical theory of heat and the fundamental principle of the conservation of energy in a position to command universal acceptance. It was in this paper that the principle of the dissipation of energy, briefly summarized in the second law of thermodynamics, was first stated. When W. Weber in 1851 proposed the extension of C. F. Gausss system of absolute units to electromagnetism, Thomson took up the question, and, applying the principles of energy, calculated the absolute electromotive force of a Daniell cell, and determined the absolute measure of the resistance of a wire from the heat produced in it by a known current. In 1861 it was Thomson who induced the British Association to appoint its first famous committee for the determination of electrical standards, and it was he who suggested much of the work carried out by J. Clerk Maxwell, Balfour Stewart and Fleeming Jenkin as members of that committee. The oscillatory character of the discharge of the Leyden jar, the foundation of the work of H. R. Hertz and of wireless telegraphy were investigated by him in 1853.

UGESEDDEL 12 Afleveringsopgave til uge 48 Med venlig hilsen Brian Bech Nielsen Boyle, Robert (1627-1691) Kelvin, Lord William Thomson (1824-1907) Kelvin argued that the key issue in the interpretation of the Second Law of Thermodynamics was the explanation of irreversible processes. He noted that if entropy always increased, the universe would eventually reach a state of uniform temperature and maximum entropy from which it would not be possible to extract any work. He called this the Heat Death of the Universe. With Rankine he proposed a thermodynamical theory based on the primacy of the energy concept, on which he believed all physics should be based. He said the two laws of thermodynamics expressed the indestructibility and dissipation of energy. He also tried to demonstrate that the equipartition theorem was invalid.

Coppedge, Master Plan Productions PART III Natural Philosophy Reaches Its Zenith Faraday Babbage Henry Joule ... Maxwell Mathematicians: Napier Euler Riemann Science as a practical outworking of theology continued well into the 19th century. During this period, especially in the British empire, some of the most eminent scientists in history gained fundamental understanding of the workings of nature. Their scientific triumphs had incalculable effects on technology, industry and human health. Several of these men were not even scientists by training (Joule, Faraday) but stood head and shoulders above their contemporaries. Midway through the 19th century, Darwinism began its ascendency. The scientists we will highlight here, and a number of others not known to be Christians, resisted the new movement with its naturalistic ramifications. Michael Faraday Prior to his apprenticeship, he had attained only the rudiments of education through Sunday school: reading, writing, and arithmetic. Though math would never be his strong point, he learned good penmanship, mastered writing and note-taking, and was a voracious reader. In the print shop, he often read the books that were to be bound. At first, his boss found him wasting his time on fiction, and urged him instead to read things of real value. To his credit, Faraday accepted the advice and began reading articles on science. A book on chemistry attracted his attention so much, he began imitating the experiments. When he read in
