J.J Thomson Essay

J too had a chum salmon that was two years younger than him-self named, Frederick Vernon Thomp watchword. He went to private schools in the descent of his education career, where he showed a great interest and passion for science, and when was 14 years old when he was accepted in to Owens College. His mother and tyro originally wanted him to study to be an engineer and get an scholar for a local locomotive manufacturer, but due to his fathers death in 1873 his plans changed.He moved away from Owens College, and into Trinity College in Cambridge, where he then obtained his BA in mathematics in 1880. He married one of his students, Rose Elizabeth Paget, and they had one son and one daughter. J. J Thompson died still working on the college campus on August 30th, 1940 from unspecified causes at the age of 83. He married one of his students, Rose Elizabeth Paget, and they had one son and one daughter. J. J Thomson was without a doubt religious.He was a businesslike Anglican Episcopal ian who regularly attended services at the Angelican church, and also went to Sun sidereal day evening college chapel services. I believe, that the best statement that I found, about the religious practices of Mr. Thomson was from one of his students, Sir Owen Richardson who said He was sincerely religious, a churchman with a dislike for Anglo-Catholicism, a regular communicant, who every day knelt in private prayer, a habit known only to wench Thomson until near the end of his life. Further research shows that J. J Thompson never bewildered a day of prayer(as quoted above) and that every day before going to sleep, he would read his bible.Some of J. Js speeches, and addresses also show that he was a devout believer in God, show in what he stated in his inaugural presidential address into the British association, As we conquer peak after peak we perceive in reckon of us regions full of interest and beauty, but we do not see ur goal, we do not see the horizon in the distance tug still higher peaks, which will yield to those who ascend them still wider prospects, and enhance the feeling, the truth of which is emphasized by every advance in science, that owing(p) are the Works of the Lord. Here we clearly see, that he doesnt take credit for his accomplishments, he gives the credit to the Lord.
