it's not human scale, it's a scale from a human. one dude came up with and a single country uses it. in all fairness, it was created before Celsius and I applaud the effort, but the metric system is superior and yes, the relation to water makes sense as it is easily reproducible by anyone else under normal conditions
I’m curious as to why you think the metric system is superior. I came to the conclusion that it’s just as random as any other system. A lot of things don’t fit nicely in the metric system: absolute zero, the number or atoms in a mole, the energy contained in an electron, Reynolds’ number, Boltzmann constant…
My critic of the metric system would be that people get to think that everything fits nicely in a 10x10 box, physics will constantly prove you that you’re forcing square pegs into round holes.
In this case I meant Celsius and not the metric system. I think Celsius is a better system than Fahrenheit for temperature. I do prefer the metric system overall but i also like some characteristics of imperial, just not for everyday use.
