Are you sperging out over the unit? It's not wrong.

>>7728944
It's really pretty

>>7729132
it's not wrong technically

Gave ur mum my D-wave. ;^)

Why would you mix those terms? As for _technically_ I've got ice cubes in my freezer colder than that. ...Now if you said x degree KELVIN above absolute zero, that'd be another thing.

Meh, blame the writer guy, not the science guy.

Nice to see Google doing more neat pie-in-the-sky research stuff with their excess cash. Even if they tend to fail at their motto, makes them more beneficial to humanity than most of these megacorps that do little besides bleed it dry and literally hold back progress for a quick buck.

No, you don't have ice cubes in the freezer colder than that. "absolute zero" does not mean "zero in your temperature scale." Not even technically.

dude.... what are you doing, dude..

>>7729181
Lol you retard. A degree Celsius over absolute zero is the same as 1 K.

sure are a lot of pedants in here...

>being wrong by 273°C

sure is a lot of ignorance in here..

>>7729472
And yet you understood what they meant

>>7729341
So what's 0 Celsius, if not the freezing temperature of water? ie. 273.15 Kelvins. Cuz 0.001°C is not all that cold, while -273.149°C is about as cold as you can get.

The units are related, but the zero point ain't in the same place, thus interchanging them just bad form.

So 273° C is a small error? Just a minor detail? And disregarding the size of his error, he also shows a fundamental lack of knowledge as to the relationship between the temperature scales of K and C.

>>7729483
the zero point of the scale =/= "absolute zero"

"absolute zero" has a very specific meaning
