Re: TI-H: Re: these are surely things to ponder about =?iso-8859-1?Q?=3A=2D=DE?=
yes but 0 isnt realy 0 you see....
you can't thinmk of temp in a mathmatical sense when you are useing the
celcius scale... you must convert it to a scale based on true
temperature (molecular motion) kelvin. 0 is 273 kelvin...
you see you could convert celcius to farenhight and then do the
calculation... 0=23 far. so 23 *.5 =11.5. BUT.... that is wrong
beacause that temp. scale is not proportional to molecular motion so as
I stated a long time ago
here is the correct answer....
0+273 = 273
273 * .5 = 136.5
136.5 - 273 = -136.5 degrees celcius at that temperature the molecules
in the air are moveing half as fast as they where at 0 degrees, therefor
it is TWICE AS COLD!
now everyone else shut up :)
