Comment on Fahrenheit vs. Celsius vs. Kelvin
bignate@discuss.tchncs.de 1 year agoI mean, the temperature 0 was assigned because it was the lowest temperature that winter in Fahrenheit’s town, and the “powers of two” was only chosen because it was simple to mark degree lines on his instrument. Feels quite arbitrary to me…

And yet, as a person, Fahrenheit seems far more intuitive and Celsius arbitrary.
