What is recorded here
Joseph Larmor was born in Magheragall in 1857, the quiet birthplace of the man who would redefine electricity and matter before Parliament. The small town gave up a sharp young mind to Belfast schools and Cambridge lectures, turning local air into global theory. That sudden jump from northern Ireland to world physics still startles, because genius does not announce itself until decades later.
Why this person is known: Irish physicist and mathematician (1857-1942)
