- chairmansteve 2y agoWow. Cosmic resonance man...
- scotty79 2y agoI refuse to believe anyone knows how cold -280F is. When you have such extreme temperatures you think in Kelvin or at least Celsius.

- usrnm 2y agoIt's not like using Kelvin or Celsius helps you grasp these temperatures. -173C is very, very cold, but how cold? What can you compare it to? Not many humans have any experience with something of this scale
- alwayslikethis 2y agoLiquid nitrogen (boiling at -196 C) is a semi-common substance that people would have heard of, though not everyone would have seen or interacted with it.
- mncharity 2y agoThat's the example Copilot used when asked to make a list of temperatures in 50 C steps with an example or two of something around that temperature that people might have heard of. Also cryogenic freezing of biological samples.
- inetknght 2y agoI've seen liquid nitrogen, briefly, as it was sprayed out of a hose. It immediately boiled into a (quite cold) gas, of course. I was told not to play with it too much because they would have to evacuate the building. Oh the joys of "bring your kid to work" days in manufacturing facilities
- Vilian 2y agoYou compare to 0 kelvin, you know where it's on the Celsius scale, not on F
- mordechai9000 2y agoMaybe the Rankine temperature could be provided, as well.
- NikolaNovak 2y agoFair, but in Celsius or Kelvin I know how close it is to absolute zero. In Fahrenheit I have no idea!
- wnoise 2y agoGot it, I should use Rankine.

- nextts 2y agoAnyone who has done cryotherapy?
- trhway 2y agoOr you can think that way - you at 36 C radiate 900 W away while from our usual environment you get 800+ W radiated (and also transferred by air) at you (with your body producing that 50-100W difference), and at 280F you’d get only mere watts radiated at you from the environment while you still would start radiating at 900 and going quickly downhill from that as you surface quickly cools down (that is supposing you don’t have some performance enhancing stuff Expanse style to generate 900 watts boiling you blood to bring those 900 watts non stop to the skin) until coming into equilibrium with the environment.
