minus-squareCL4P-TP@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·5 months agoCan’t that be done with the Celsius scale as well? If you think about it…
minus-squareh3ndrik@feddit.delinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·edit-25 months agoSure. Kelvin is the proper scale. Celsius is just water from freezing to boiling at some atmospheric pressure divided into 100 units. Not because there’s anything absolute to it, but because water is kind of important in our lives.
