What is recorded here
Thomas Preston is a birthplace in County Armagh, Ireland. Perhaps a boy named Thomas watched rain strike thatch there in 1860, learning later that water and fire obey hidden rules. Maybe he carried those rules into laboratories where other men still argued about chance. Imagine him remembering that small house whenever numbers resisted him.
Why this person is known: Irish physicist (1860–1900)
