SUMMARY
The discussion centers on the definitions of 0 degrees Celsius for ice and 100 degrees Celsius for boiling water, emphasizing that these values are universally accepted under standard atmospheric pressure (1 atm, ~1 bar, 101 kPa). Participants clarify that the freezing point of water is consistently 0 degrees Celsius, while the boiling point is 100 degrees Celsius, applicable in all countries under normal conditions. The confusion arises from the term "Ais," which is corrected to "ice." This highlights the importance of precise terminology in scientific discussions.
