- mdp2021 5y agoWhen it's -40° Kelvin, it does. (Well, "intellectual curiosity" wise... "Cognize -40°K. On a tesseract")
- garaetjjte 5y ago° shouldn't be used with Kelvin scale.
- mdp2021 5y agoYou are right, I forgot. In the sixties the "Kelvin" became a Unit of Measure. But it's a convention - it remains a "degree", somehow, though the concept is weak: it indicates discreets, values are continuous. Degrees make more sense when "24.4" does not, while measurements are intended to be ideally precise.
- LargeWu 5y agoKelvin doesn't have negative values. 0K is absolute zero.
- mdp2021 5y agoYes I know. I afforded a rare joke. In fact, I stated that one can now attempt the intellectual exercise of visualizing -40 Kelvin: there, the interest - theoretical, and supposedly very practical and urgent - is raised which was lost in the poster's stated irrelevance of -40°C vs -40°F.
