Can we pls put metric in brackets at least? 7.2 billion people on this planet use it instead of imperial.

Ty814, it's not whining - it's quite a reasonable request. I second it. We do not say they should not use the imperial system, only that measures should be given in both

AmicableStarfish6000

UK uses both!

Below -100F (-73C) water is solid or a gas. Going from ice directly to vapor is called sublimation.

JMRACING14, it’s whatever you were taught in school. I was taught imperial and then my last few years of school, Canada switched to metric. I still prefer imperial

Now I am confused. I thought that the lowest possible temperature was -273F or 0 Kelvin . Absolute Zero. How can -300F exist?

England invented the Imperial system.

Player #414252, it doesn't matter to me because I'm not going up the nearest mountain to test it out.

Player #25874027, absolute zero is -273°C, not F

Lizzibef123, We use and understand both in Britain.

Coo

Lizzibef123, I think you will find that it's the British, not the English who formalised imperial measurements.

JayJay

can we have centigrade measurements included? Thanks

Player #25874027, it’s -273 Celsius not Fahrenheit

I wouldn't bet against water boiling at 100,000 feet, in the sun, since the boiling point at that altitude would be about 9F, -12C, 261K. Well, sublimating....

Player #25874027, Absolute Zero is at about -273C ie Zero Kelvin.

This is why there are pressure cookers.

AmicableStarfish6000, Imperial is base though. Ireland has metric as base. It will be a generation before Imp is gone as anyone over 40 grew up with it.

Metalthorn

metric please?!

Player #62752956

kat, absolute zero is about -460 F.

Livoo

Player #414252, especially when it is about science. Science uses SI, which is metric

Player #30725310

Player #25874027, -273.16 C not F

Davy, Livingston, it was awful for older people they couldn't get it, we were lucky we'd been in Germany with the RAF so understood it. you do realise we were conned rotton by shopkeepers who would spend 10 bob on a loaf but 50p sounds ok, it was the same with an awful lot of things xx

Mussemouse

ft? imperial measures are not used worldwide.

sonnybud

never knew it 😁
