Kelvin and Celsius are literally the same just offset by 273.15°

Literally the same just different.

Kelvin was developed from Celsius. The only difference is that 0° is based on absolute 0 (because it's logical and constant) rather than the rough freezing point of water (a vague and inconsistent reference point). Every degree change in one unit is exactly the same change in the other.

And the meme is exactly about not having the same 0 point

Except Kelvin aren't degrees (e.g. it's just 273'15K not 273'15°K). But a change of one Kelvin is indeed equivalent to a change of one degree Celsius.

Theyre also not pointing guns at each other in the picture.

Same relationship between Rankine and Fahrenheit.

And 0 Kelvin and 0° Rankine are three same temperature.

[-] Chrobin@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 10 months ago

In that case I assume it would be 0 Rankine without degrees, too? Because it's an absolute unit like Kelvin.

[-] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

It's still technically defined based on its relationship to Fahrenheit, just like Kelvin was with Celsius until the 60s.
