The Kelvin scale gives a natural measure of the kinetic energy of a gas, and is independent of physical properties, whereas the artificial Celsius scale is based on the physical properties of water. The Celsius scale is defined about an arbitrary zero point and hence negative °C values occur. Are physical properties such as temperature invented or discovered?
