Everyone is downvoting you, but I’m actually not entirely convinced that your new system is impossible. Inconvenient? Definitely. But impossible? I’m not sure.
If absolute zero is infinity, then tell me the new freezing and boiling points of water based on your new scale. And then tell me how the formula
PV = nrT
still works. If you can do that, I’ll agree that temperature could measure the amount of “cold” in a substance rather than the amount of “hot”.
