Comment on xkcd #2877: Fever
Where does Rankine line up with Celsius?
Never. Rankine increases faster than Celcius, so the two will never cross
Rankine starts at zero Celsius starts at -273.15°
Rankine at room temperature 527.67 Celcius at room temperature 20
Those lines do not cross
Huh, so the lines do cross, just at a pysically impossible temperature of -614.5875. Neat!
