WBZ Florida

[Dan Strassberg]

It's a matter of degrees--as it were. Kelvin and Celsius use the big
degrees; Rankine and Fahrenheit use the little ones. K:R = C:F. That
relationship is mathematically incorrect because 0F not= 0C but 0R = 0K.
However, I'd call the relationship "philosophically" correct (whatever that
means)
