Kelvin does still rely on each degree being 1% of the way between freezing and boiling so it kinda does rely on a variant reference point

- chermi 3mo agoThe reference point is the triple point, and invariant.
- xgulfie 3mo agoSure technically yes, but also celsius is now technically defined as just Kelvin plus 273.15. Degrees have technically been redefined as exactly 1.380649×10^−23 joules
- chermi 3mo agoWhy is that only "technically yes"? It's precisely how the thermodynamic and empirical temperature scales are matched.
- NooneAtAll3 3mo agotripple point of what tho? which water?
- chermi 3mo agoWut? Water. H20.
