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'd be kind of pointless. We know the point at which things cannot get colder. I'm not sure there is a point at which things can't get hotter.

Why would that be any more pointless than a scale like Celsius? Instead of hotter things being denoted into the millions of degrees, they would just be into the minus millions.
There would just be an upper limit to the number instead of a lower one
