Reply to comment by AxialGem in The direction of temperature is arbitrary. There is no reason for hot objects to be assigned a larger number than cold ones by Crux_AMVS24

It was just a non-arbitary point. My point still stands with whatever number you choose. Because there's no maximum temperature you'd still eventually end up in negatives.

Yea, that's true. But...scale with negative numbers is still a perfectly functional scale of course. I'm just saying OP's thought is still valid I guess :p
