Is it a fluke that the triple point of water is almost exactly 0°C ?

[QUOTE="vanhees71, post: 6857654, member: 260864"] It's not a coincidence but it has been defined, arbitrarily, in this way by Celsius. For good reasons today the SI defines the units by fixing the values of fundamental constants, which provides much better accuracy and sustainability of the units, but of course in "redefining" the SI units one has been invested decades of painstaking effort to make them as accurately as possible to be consistent with the previous definition.
