You can read it here: http://tangotiger.net/scales.html Where I say: 0 Celsius is 270 Kelvin. They both describe the same thing, but in different scales.

Linear Weights is a relative scale. Eric, since you’ve done it a couple of times, please, never ever divide two relative numbers. You can read it here:
