Isn't the autoignition temperature of paper like a third of that?
- Karsteski 3y agoThey never even mentioned what unit they're working in
- buildbot 3y ago800 degrees kelvin! Of course ;)
- crooked-v 3y agoIt's 451 degrees Fahrenheight, of course. Well, no. Actually it's a bit more variable than that, but "Between Fahrenheight 424 and Fahrenheight 475" doesn't make as punchy a book title for some reason.
- mike_d 3y agoPaper has an autoignition (spontaneous combustion) temperature of 842 °F (450 °C) and a flash point (set alight by static) at 662 °F (350 °C). Either way, both temperatures are much higher than 451 °F (233 °C)—books don’t catch fire at this temperature. https://ftloscience.com/flash-points-autoignition-fahrenheit-451/ https://ftloscience.com/flash-points-autoignition-fahrenheit...
