AI Thread Summary
Temperature measured with respect to absolute zero on the Kelvin scale is referred to as absolute temperature. While some participants suggested kinetic energy, it was clarified that kinetic energy is not synonymous with temperature. The discussion highlighted the recursive nature of the question, emphasizing that temperature is defined differently across scales, such as Celsius and Kelvin. The consensus points towards "absolute temperature" as the correct term. Overall, the conversation focused on clarifying the definition and distinctions of temperature in relation to absolute zero.

Homework Statement


A temperature measured with respect to absolute zero on the Kelvin scale is called ____________.


Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution



The thing measured with respect to absolute zero on the Kelvin scale is called temperature. Right?

But the question seems to be recursive. Is the answer is kinetic energy?

Right, but that's not a complete answer. The thing measured with respect to the zero on the Celsius scale is called temperature as well, but it is definitely different.

But the question seems to be recursive. Is the answer is kinetic energy?

In a way question contains the answer but no, kinetic energy is NOT the temperature.
 
absolute temperature?
 
That's would be my answer.
 
Celsius:Kelvin::
zero:absolute zero::
temperature:absolute temperatue
 

Thread 'Prove that evolution is constant (Provide at least two arguments to support your position)'

I don't get how to argue it. i can prove: evolution is the ability to adapt, whether it's progression or regression from some point of view, so if evolution is not constant then animal generations couldn`t stay alive for a big amount of time because when climate is changing this generations die. but they dont. so evolution is constant. but its not an argument, right? how to fing arguments when i only prove it.. analytically, i guess it called that (this is indirectly related to biology, im...
