  Eh, Kelvin is better.

    Kelvin is just Celsius with an offset. Rankine FTW. Edit: Background research for this snarky remark led me to this table. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conversion_of_scales_of_temperature#Comparison_of_temperature_scales https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conversion_of_scales_of_temp...

    A little OCD corner of my brain is very disappointed that there is no scale where absolute zero and the boiling and freezing point of water are all whole numbers. Or maybe that just means the universe is built in base 15 numbers.

      I'm sure you could find some pressure where that is true for Kelvin.

        Mad scientist: And that's why I siphoned off 10% of the earth's atmosphere in order to make a temperature scale where water still boils at 100°
