What is recorded here
Thomas Andrews is a birthplace in Belfast, County Antrim, Ireland. Perhaps the young chemist first watched water turn to steam in a kitchen there, learning that pressure and heat obey simple rules. Maybe his hands learned the behaviour of gases before he ever wrote equations for them.
Why this person is known: Irish chemist and physicist (1813–1885)
