@neiltyson Screw the metric system!!! USA! USA! -
@DP819 Can you explain Fahrenheit to a poor limey who ignored it at school?@neiltyson -
@eddwilson@DP819@neiltyson It's basically a 0-100 scale. -
@ltdaan 0-100 between what and what?@DP819@neiltyson -
@eddwilson@ltdaan@neiltyson 0 is seriously cold. 100 is seriously hot. 32 is water freezing temp. -
@DP819 So that's two of you. That certainly works (a bit) for human experience, but it's utterly arbitrary for science.@ltdaan@neiltyson -
@eddwilson@ltdaan@neiltyson I try to live through human experiences.

@neiltyson what is '1944' in metric? :) -
“
@masundbe:@neiltyson what is '1944' in metric? :)” Best equivalent is '1944CE'. BCE & CE are lame, but some publishers use it.

@neiltyson I've alway wondered are the devices/ways they use now more accurate in getting the temp than what was used in say 1944?Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
