The discussion revolves around the definitions of 0 degrees Celsius for ice and 100 degrees Celsius for boiling water, questioning their universality and the conditions under which these definitions hold true. Participants explore the origins and validity of these temperature benchmarks across different contexts and locations.
The discussion remains unresolved, with multiple competing views and uncertainties regarding the definitions and conditions associated with the Celsius scale.
Participants express confusion over terminology and the implications of temperature definitions, indicating a need for clarity on the conditions affecting boiling and freezing points.

Shaun_W said:Water will boil at 100 degrees Celsius at normal atmospheric pressure (1 atm, ~1 bar, 101KPa).
By "Ais" do you mean air or ice?
