William Rankine
William Rankine (5 July 1820 – 24 December 1872) was a Scottish mathematician and physicist. He was a founding contributor, with Rudolf Clausius and Lord Kelvin, to the science of thermodynamics, particularly focusing on its First Law. He developed the Rankine scale, a Fahrenheit-based equivalent to the Celsius-based Kelvin scale of temperature. This undated photograph of Rankine was taken by Thomas Annan.Photograph credit: Thomas Annan; restored by Adam Cuerden

Burden of Proof

In cases where prevailing opinion lies in one direction, people with minority viewpoints inevitably have the burden of proof thrust upon them.

Outlook

DocJohnny is a
Materialist
. Materialism stresses the essence of fundamental particles. Everything that exists is purely physical matter and there is no special force that holds life together. You believe that anything can be explained by breaking it up into its pieces. i.e. the big picture can be understood by its smaller elements.
