They could have met below absolute zero!

Now we have to determine what the absolute one is. The number one temperature? Maybe "room temperature"?

[-] JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee 2 points 8 months ago

What do you mean absolute? Is 1? the absolute value of 1. I thought |1| would be.

[-] lugal@sopuli.xyz 2 points 8 months ago

Yes but which unit? "absolute zero point" doesn't need a unit since zero is zero (and degree isn't a unit in this sense).

But what is |1|? 1K? The highest possible temperature maybe as in "on a scale from 0 to 1"
