The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Born in Belfast, he was the professor of Natural Philosophy at the University of Glasgow for 53 years.
- There he undertook significant research on the mathematical analysis of electricity, and was instrumental in the formulation of the first and second laws of thermodynamics.
- He contributed significantly to unifying physics, which was then in its infancy of development as an emerging academic discipline.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Lord Kelvin article was read about 180,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 85 and blocks with 92: each hit it takes is cut by 37 %.
