So every time the Celsius Fahrenheit debate comes out, there is always the point made about “Fahrenheit makes more sense, it tells you how is out there: 0 is freezing, 100 is roasting hot”.
And yes, that might be accurate but showcases that USA citizens only care about themselves, they do not even care about physics or chemistry.
The “it works for me therefore it is good” mentality is what they bring to the world and the most clear example is their choice of framing for justifying Fahrenheit over Celsius.
Right, Celsius is not even part of the metric system. It is an honorary member of the SI units, but that doesn’t make it metric. It would make little sense to talk about kilo-degrees, or micro-degrees, because degrees Celsius doesn’t relate well to the amount of heat. That’s what Kelvin is for.
Kelvin is still rooted in Celsius, just by an offset of 273.15
For that matter, so is Fahrenheit, with the relationship (x + 459.67) × 5/9 K, where x is degrees F.
Let’s make a new scale, between 0 and 1
Zero is where everything turns solid, One where everything boils and vaporizes…
Finally, a sensible proposal!
