Epic fail. Everyone knows Kelvin is the System Internationale unit for temperature. If it's good enough FOR SCIENCE it's good enough for you.

>> No.1799753

By English system you mean Imperial? Because that's French, as is SI. Get your facts straight.

And Fahrenheit>Kelvin? You're clearly not a scientist.

Shut the fuck up, you don't use kelvin for anything but science. If you actually say something like "Hey, I heard it is getting up to 320 kelvin today" then people will just look at you like youre an idiot

>> No.1799762

as a European living in America for a long time, I still hate imperial over metric, but would not switch from Fahrenheit to Celsius ( no experience with kelvin on daily basis so can't judge)

Celsius is Kelvin-273.15, same scale.

No, It's just that I'm not a 12 year old who tries to refer to everything in kelvin instead of a regular temperature scale, because I don't go out of my way to try and get people to think "oh wow xD he smrt scintist xD lol"

Réaumur is a magic scale because it allows you to use simple techniques to create a high precision thermometer.

>> No.1800663

What's Fahrenheit even based from?

I know Celsius is based on the mp/bp of water, and that 0 degrees Kelvin is when movement of atoms completely stops.

This is actually fairly interesting, and one of those things that wikipedia is great at telling us.

0F is the equilibrium point of icy saltwater. It is scaled so that the boiling and melting point of water are 180 degrees apart.

>> No.1800690

According to Fahrenheit, temperature goes in circles.

Imperial is french and inferior

Farenheit is some crazy shit with pointlessly obscure measurements. Kelvin/Centigrade FTW

>> No.1800712

>>1800700
Because (and I wish I had spoiler tags) there are 180 of them between where water freezes/melts and where it boils/condenses.

>> No.1800778

>>1799731
Make your mind up, OP.

If Metric > Imperial, then it follows that Celsius > Fahrenheit, as the metric unit of temperature is the Kelvin and Celsius uses the same scale (most calculations involving temperature involve differences rather than absolutes).

I'm man enough to admit that both Fahrenheit and Celsius suck

>> No.1800797

Calsius is better tho, think of water boiling and freezing points
