Quote:Here's my good opportunity to rant about how Fahrenheit bases it's absolute 0 point not at 0. It makes no sense - the lack of temperature entirely should be expressed as 0 and not a negative number. It makes me LOL at how such situations can happen in real life because we've all gotten used to such a system - at least Celcius bases it's 0 point at something that makes much more sense.
Indeed. Celcius makes sense. As far as absolute zero goes, there's kelvin for that - unfortunately kelvin makes important marks like the freezing point of water very arbitrary.
