Reply to comment by TroyBenites 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

Why do you view larger numbers as 'up?'
Because OP's thought said nothing about up or down of course, and there's nothing stopping you from making a thermometer where numbers that are physically higher on the thermometer are smaller numbers
