Kelvin did pay off gentleman's bet with Strutt on the importance of radioactivity in the Earth. The Kelvin period does exist in the evolution of stars. They shine from gravitational energy for a while (correctly calculated by Kelvin) before fusion and the main sequence begins. Fusion was not understood until well after Kelvin's time。参考文献：England, P.; Molnar, P.; Righter, F. John Perry's neglected critique of Kelvin's age for the Earth: A missed opportunity in geodynamics.
