0C=0+273K, and we know a/b not equal to a+c / b+c.

Reminds me of confusion on Fahrenheit to Celsius, in regards to global warming.
I’ve seen people hear “Earth is predicted to get warmer by 2 degrees C”…
and then they put “2 degrees C to F” into Google and get 35 degrees F!
But because of the difference in zero points, this doesn’t work. It works for almost anything else (distance, energy, speed, etc). Because 0 miles = 0 km.
But not for temperature.
(Correct answer is a _difference_ of 2 C is a _difference_ of 3.6 F, not 35 F. But if the thermometer says 2 C, then it’s 35 F)

Does this prove more that 0 doesn’t exist?
