His impact on computing is relatively minor considering he died in 1907. However, his pioneering work on the transatlantic telegraph cable deserves mention with regards the calculation of signal transmission over distance, as does his work in introducing the apparatus and methods of measuring electricity accurately. His work in thermodynamics also deserves mention, especially with regards super-cooling, however his realisation of absolute zero is of little consequence since at that temperature absolutely nothing moves, not even atoms. so while it is obviously undesirable, it is quite impossible to attain.
Lord Kelvin, also known as William Thomson, made significant contributions to the fields of physics and engineering. He formulated the first and second laws of thermodynamics, developed the Kelvin temperature scale, and made important contributions to the understanding of electricity and magnetism. Lord Kelvin's work laid the foundation for modern physics and engineering principles.
Kelvin (unit) is named after Lord Kelvin.
