Does the Fahrenheit scale make sense to you?

Question

What so special about 32 and 212? I think 0 for freezing and 100 for boiling like in Celsius makes more sense but what do you think? Not what you are used to but which one makes more sense?

Answer 1

Naw, not really. If I get burned, what ever that is that causes me to pull my hand or whatever back and shout some explicative, I would call that hot. Cold would be the exact opposite reaction, but similar. Does that make sense?

Answer 2

It does make sense when you understand how it was developed.  Fahrenheit took the range of temperatures that most people experience.  He set the bottom of that scale to 0, and the top of that scale to 100.  He then marked 100 degrees of temperature and then tested to see where water freezes and water boils on the 'human' temperature scale.   That's where the 32 and 212 come from.  So the scale is based on typical range of human experience divided into 100 units.

Answer 4

I'm used to Celsius scale, but I guess neither Celsius nor Fahrenheit is the most "proper" scale, but Kelvin.
