    Did it never occur to you that Celsius is basically Kelvin with the zero point moved to human reference?

    Human reference because >50% of our body is water. We are essentially water bags.

      This is interesting but not really justified historically. Celsius predates the concept of absolute zero, and water is very important to our world, not just ourselves.

        I was replying to a (now gone) post on how Kelvin is for science, Fahrenheit for humans ,and Celsius is useless. It should give a perspective how to get from Kelvin to Celsius, not give a wildly off-topic history lesson.
