Foreword science does not progress by simply disregarding older views; however novel a theory, its origins always show. The most revolutionary of innovations, quantum theory, began with Planck’s attempt to patch up a flaw in classical mechanics; and Newton himself did not create classical mechanics from scratch, but built on foundations laid by Galileo, Kepler, and millennia of devoted astronomers. We cannot truly appreciate the methods and meaning of science without looking into its history, and one of the most agreeable approaches to history is through its great men, of which William Thomson, Baron Kelvin of Largs, was certainly one. vii
