WBZ Florida

[Paul Hopfgarten]

Ah! So Rankine and Kelvin START at the same point in "absolute" terms, but
move foward at 5:9 relationship (as it
were...) -278C=ZeroK=-459.67F=ZeroR....or...+50F=+10C=+328K=+509.76R???

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)
