    Woooooah, man, but what if you put some weeeed in there man….

    I thought a Planck was a small measure of distance? So that’s space,

    I assume you have a idea what you know, space itself has energy?

    Also, wouldn’t the black holes just combine, I assume these black holes are far apart in space?

    I am not a physicist lol

    I thought a black hole was a whole lot of stuff so a small black hole sounds off the charts ugh now I have to pretend to be a scientist and and go back to my mit free lectures damn it

    Edit: In my imagination you’ve made me try to put a bunch of black holes kind of like dots on a black sheet of paper in the canvas of my imagination but if they were that close together they would just instantly combine or explode or something, the space between the dots would have to be some inconceivable distance for the “small” black holes to not combine and explode or gravitate the waves or whatever they do when they do that.

    Or maybe it’s some perfect system where the small black holes are gravitating orbiting each other because we are talking about the maximum conceivable temperature so kind of like Led Zeppelin Pink Floyd or Bob Marley or something

    Way cool, thank you :

    Ok, perhaps you are hearing a cacophony of other insects, or your hearing is different than mine.

    Yes, I am a bitch but that is neither here nor there, but I can clearly hear a wave pattern with the chirps as I sit outside on my front porch, and I already knew about this cool way to measure the temperature in Fahrenheit… (I didn’t remember the number you had to add) ……obviously, we already know whether we are too hot or too cold without knowing the exact temperature though… it’s just a fun factoid when you’re camping

    Also if you make a loud bang or a loud noise you can interrupt the chirping but they will continue… I don’t really know if grasshoppers have ears though, would be pretty dumb if they didn’t considering all the chirping they do

    I believe I read or saw in a nature program though that they all chirp together like that to help deter predators from finding any one chirper…

    From Wikipedia: ——————— Several accounts of how he originally defined his scale exist, but the original paper suggests the lower defining point, 0 °F, was established as the freezing temperature of a solution of brine made from a mixture of water, ice, and ammonium chloride (a salt).[2][3] The other limit established was his best estimate of the average human body temperature, originally set at 90 °F, then 96 °F (about 2.6 °F less than the modern value due to a later redefinition of the scale).[2] ———-

    Any measurement of temperature is going to be relative to the atmospheric pressure among other variables… I’m not a scientist but Celsius is just as random… it may make more sense because freezing water and boiling water make sense to you with a refrigerator and stove… for most of human history this would not have made any sense……

    There’s uses of metric that make a lot more sense, it is not my intention to defend imperial systems of measurement or whatever they are called, it is interesting to me though….

    What are the measurements we can define where if we met a completely alien race from another solar system where we could immediately agree on the system… that’s probably the best one lol

    Kelvin does make sense with the absolute zero thing, in my opinion at least… now I need to look up if there is a maximum temperature. And whether it matters lol… matter would probably fall apart at that temperature in which case it doesn’t matter anyways haha (edit: I just learned that Kelvin uses the same scale as Celsius apparently)

    Get it? It wouldn’t matter 😂

    I dunno, out of all the uses of metric system, Fahrenheit seems the more logical than the rest…

    Metric temperature as Celsius is just as random as any other made up system of temperature measurement. Fahrenheit used the temperature of the human body to create his system, which makes a lot more sense than other systems.

    I think our measurement of time for example is way more backwards than the fahrenheit system…

    Kilometers and centimeters and distance totally makes more sense in metric but I am an American (USA American) and inches and miles are easier for me because of it ngl
