Yet, Joule himself did not start from scratch and par- ticularly referred to the work of Benjamin Thomp- son, Count Rumford, who carried [...] distance. Due to the absorption of radiant heat and the resulting different pressure, the alcohol drop starts to move. The experimenter increases the distance between the stronger heat source and the thermoscope [...] efficient way to insulate the human body. To summarize, Rumford can in retrospect be identified as a starting point for various develop- ment in the energy science – he carried out exper- iments that were related

In 1887, Ernest won a scholarship to Nelson College, an all-boys [...] school teacher, but after multiple failed attempts to obtain a perma- nent teaching position, he started doing research in the field of electrical science. At the time, there were scholarships initiated [...] other evidence was produced that questioned the indivisible character of the atom. In actuality, the starting point was research that, in retrospect, could be taken as further evidence for the atomic theory
