273
My head is about to break because of the School of Data Analysis course. Diagrams of interactions between MCP components give me nightmares. Let's talk about constants in physics.
Everyone knows that absolute zero is approximately -273 degrees Celsius. But what is the source of this constant? Is it experimental or theoretical?
A piece of totally impractical, but dear to me, knowledge is the following. If we take the melting point of water and its boiling point as reference points, divide the whole range into 100 equal parts using an expanding liquid like mercury as a measure, then a decrease in temperature by 1 degree Celsius leads to the gas shrinking by approximately 1/273 of its volume at 0 degrees Celsius. So absolute zero is the point at which the gas shrinks to nothing.
Phew. So much easier than two stage-embedding retrieval.
