Comment on The heat... I mean the cold... well, it’s palpable!
applebusch@lemmy.blahaj.zone 22 hours agoOnly Kelvin is valid thermodynamically because thermodynamics often needs absolute temperature for the math to work out right. Rankine is only for masochistic idiots who like fucking up their math and having extra stupid constants all over the place to compensate for their shitty unit system.

Perhaps, but that was not the statement. The statement was:
Functionally, a measurement system cannot be inaccurate. You might define a new temperature measurement in blargs, and define that the room you’re in right now is 1 blarg. It is now an accurate statement to say that the room is 1 blarg. At the time of measurement, it is not possible for that statement to be inaccurate.
