What is recorded here
William Thomson, 1st Baron Kelvin is a birthplace in Belfast, County Antrim, Ireland. Perhaps a boy named William drew heat and motion across paper while other children played outside. Maybe his questions about invisible forces grew into laws that still shape modern life. Imagine the room where curiosity first became a instrument of discovery.
Why this person is known: British physicist and engineer (1824–1907)
