    Kelvin>Celsius>Newton (because it amuses me)>Rankine>Fahrenheit>Romer (just because I respect him for being the first to calculate the speed of light)>Remeaur>Delisle (horrible scale but it deserves some recognition for the making of Celsius)> Wedgwood (complete disaster)

    As a physics student I hate not using Kelvins for temperature 😔

    I will NEVER NOT capitalize the K when writing temperature.... ever.. LOL 😛😛
    it's 300K. Lowercase k means thousand i.e. 300k == 300,000 (IMHO)

      Yes, that is the correct symbol for the kelvin. The video meant that the *word* kelvin has a lowercase k, not that the symbol is one, but the visuals screwed it up.

    Réaumur lasted longer than the 19th century. I remember seeing quite modern metrological thermometers in the 1970s in Switzerland with dual Celsius and Réaumur scales.

    Fahrenheit is more relatable to us than Celsius is. 100°F is very hot for us but 100°C would kill us

    Fahrenheit representing the temperature range of humans from 0-100 is not very consistent.
    Acclimatization, humidity and wind are all factors that have a influence.
    I live in a country where I consider the winters cold but other countries consider their summers hot despite their summers being the same temp as my winter.
    Fahrenheit might work for people from the USA because they are used to it and it would be hard to switch but
    the argument that fahrenheit represents human temperature and temperature experience better is simply not true because it is just an arbitrary range from 0-100 which could also just be made in Celsius although i do get it is easier to work in a 0-100 range
    but then my second point is that 0 or 40 or 70 or 100 Fahrenheit will mean something different depending on enviremental factors that change quite often like wind and humidity so how accurate is just temperature and ok we can adjust the temp based on those factors to say it will feel like this but if you are adjusting the temp then what counts as a baseline? Everything at 0? Is the information you get from temp even as useful as we think? Do we tell ourselves we can tell a difference between an arbitrary amount of degrees based on a temp unit and maybe we can but it doesnt matter? Maybe using words are better like hot cold freezing normal windy sweaty burning dry rainy...
    I dont know what i am saying anymore but my point is fahrenheit is not better or worse it doesnt matter in a vacuum but in the real world using what majority uses is the best for consistency so if you live in USA then using fahrenheit is the best option and everywhere else (i would say this includes interacting with a majority that is not usa from usa) means celsius is better option.

      Also in general, Celsius is just easier to learn. The Fahrenheit scale seems to require an almost unnecessary amount memorization. The placement of the boiling and freezing points are awkward and just random? Getting used to Celsius took months, Fahrenheit took my whole life to get used to.

    I always find fascinating how (almost) everyone has the same vocal track yet can't do the same sounds. And sometimes I find amusing (not mocking) hearing some mispronunciation. Like your "réaumur". For people curious about it, an closer(?) English approximation would be something akin to ray oh moore.

    I think Fahrenheit is superior for non-scientific applications, only because it's not based on water, making it easier to disassociate water from the scale.

      It's quite the opposite. Kelvin is preferred in scientific applications as:
      -no negative temperatures, it makes calculations easier as energy is a scalar quantity. signs create confusions.
      -absolute zero: 0 K is the last temperature a matter could get cold to. Entropy becomes zero, molecular motion ceases, and every substance become a perfect crystal (except ideal gases)
      -still follows the magnitude of celcius, which is considered more scientific than Fahrenheit, as it considers water.

      that's not a good reason imo. no one who uses celsius thinks about water when reading the temperature.

    • @yellowbacon69
      @yellowbacon69 15 годин тому +2

      @ yes, this is correct. I would view Kelvin as the scientific unit, while Celsius is a unit better suited for everyday life.

    Why are you using the zero power symbol as a degree sign? You can’t talk about pedantry and then make such sloppy mistakes.

    Please don't repeat the words from the narrator like that with text in the video. It's not adding any value and because you only do it partly, it's actually kinda annoying cause your mind stops listening and tunes to the text, but cause it is only partly available a huge portion of the information is missed. Either do subtitles for everything in your video or no text repetition at all, definitely not with animations like that.
