Baron William Thomson Kelvin Knihy
William Thomson, neskôr známy ako Lord Kelvin, bol írsko-britský matematik a fyzik, ktorý zásadne prispel k rozvoju termodynamiky a matematickej analýzy elektriny. Jeho práca pomohla zjednotiť fyziku do disciplíny, akú poznáme dnes. Okrem akademickej dráhy sa venoval aj praktickému inžinierstvu, najmä v oblasti telegrafie a námorných prístrojov, čo mu zabezpečilo nielen bohatstvo a slávu, ale aj verejné uznanie. Po ňom je pomenovaná jednotka absolútnej teploty, kelvin, a jeho meno je spojené s určením hodnoty absolútnej nuly.
