OP I know the comments are always funnier but you have to at least try.

Reply to comment by Crux_AMVS24 in The direction of temperature is arbitrary. There is no reason for hot objects to be assigned a larger number than cold ones by Crux_AMVS24

From the ideal gas law PV=nRT, it follows that at 1atm and T=0C, 50C, and 100C, V will be 2241.4, 2651.7, and 3062.0 cm3, respectively. To get these same volumes, T under this new system (PVT=nR) would be 0.0366, 0.0309, and 0.0268. Ignoring the fact the T's units are now 1/K, this breaks the linear relationship between V and T. T=1 in this system is 1K in our system, after which it explodes to infinity. Physics itself seems to work. The change in scale is odd, but decibels are logarithmic so it's not unheard of. The asymptote at absolute cold and limit tending toward 0 as things get hotter are actually sort of intuitive in a way if you think about it.

I looked it up and saw stuff about the equilibrium of connected bodies. I don't understand how that is related.

Where would 0 be?

Physics equations would probably be much uglier if the direction of temperature were the other way, if they could get them to work at all.

Yes you can. But why would you want to? Why was this worth posting here?

I told my dentist this recently. My appointment was at 3 and I left the house at 2:30 so I joked about that. I'm a little surprised there was no wise guy before me.
