The inventor of the Fahrenheit scale Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit learned of Rømer's work and visited him in 1708 ; in one of his letters Fahrenheit narrates how he borrowed the idea for the scale from this visit, increasing the number of divisions by a factor of four and eventually establishing what is now known as the Fahrenheit scale, in 1724.

Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit ( 24 May 1686 – 16 September 1736 ) was a Dutch-German-Polish physicist, engineer, and glass blower who is best known for inventing the alcohol thermometer ( 1709 ) and the mercury thermometer ( 1714 ), and for developing a temperature scale now named after him.

Further experiments and measurements by Joule led him to estimate the mechanical equivalent of heat as 838 ft · lbf of work to raise the temperature of a pound of water by one degree Fahrenheit.

Bush and George W. Bush, the latter giving him the affectionate and controversial nickname " Bandar Bush " His particularly close relationship with the Bush family was highlighted in Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 9 / 11.

In the introduction of the 1967 Simon and Schuster book club edition, Bradbury implies that the Nazi book burnings drove him to write the short story " The Fireman " which was the precursor along with the foundation for his novel Fahrenheit 451, stating, " It follows then that when Hitler burned a book I felt it as keenly, please forgive me, as his killing a human, for in the long sum of history they are one and the same flesh.

Another reference to the game in Fahrenheit can be seen where the character Tyler has a small figure of the robot Soks and refers to him as " his favourite character from his favourite video game.

Michael Moore is suing Bob and Harvey Weinstein for creative accounting to deprive him of his share of profits for the film Fahrenheit 9 / 11.

This equates to − 459. 67 ° on the Fahrenheit scale and 0 R on the Rankine scale.

Temperatures that are expressed as negative numbers on the familiar Celsius or Fahrenheit scales are simply colder than the zero points of those scales.

Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit began training as a merchant in Amsterdam after his parents died on August 14, 1701 from eating poisonous mushrooms.

Fahrenheit noted that mercury boils around 600 degrees on this temperature scale.

( c ) describing the relationship between numbers such as between temperatures on the Fahrenheit scale ( F ) and the Centigrade scale ( C ), given by F = ( 9C ÷ 5 ) + 32.

The script, which was written by Robert Alan Aurthur, combined plot ideas from Fahrenheit 451 and Nineteen Eighty-Four ; Bradbury sued and eventually won on appeal.

Therefore, a degree on the Fahrenheit scale is of the interval between the freezing point and the boiling point.

The Rankine temperature scale was created to use degree intervals the same size as those of the Fahrenheit scale, such that a temperature difference of one degree Rankine ( 1 R ) is equal to a difference of 1 ° F, except that absolute zero is 0 R – the same way that the Kelvin temperature scale matches the Celsius scale, except that absolute zero is 0 K. The Fahrenheit scale uses ( in the same manner as the later Celsius scale ) the symbol ° to denote a point on the temperature scale and the letter F to indicate the use of the Fahrenheit scale ( e. g. " Gallium melts at 85. 5763 ° F "), as well as to denote a difference between temperatures or an uncertainty in temperature ( e. g. " The output of the heat exchanger experiences an increase of 72 ° F " and " Our standard uncertainty is ± 5 ° F ").

According to an article Fahrenheit wrote in 1724, he based his scale on three reference points of temperature.

According to a letter Fahrenheit wrote to his friend Herman Boerhaave, his scale was built on the work of Ole Rømer, whom he had met earlier.

Zero on both the Kelvin and Rankine scales is absolute zero, but the Rankine degree is defined as equal to one degree Fahrenheit, rather than the one degree Celsius used by the Kelvin scale.

The temperature of the region on a clear day is 30 degrees Celsius ( 86 degrees Fahrenheit ) high and 22 degrees Celsius ( 71. 6 degrees Fahrenheit ) low.

Developing an aerobot that can withstand the high pressures and temperatures ( up to 480 degrees Celsius, or almost 900 degrees Fahrenheit ) on the surface of Venus, as well as passage through sulfuric acid clouds, will require new technologies.

Although many science fiction novels such as Nineteen Eighty-Four or Fahrenheit 451 do this, their focus is upon how current trends in society might come to fruition, and act as a moral allegory on the modern world.

He passed on the project to make Fahrenheit 451.

Disney, however, had the final say on what Miramax could release ( see Fahrenheit 9 / 11, Kids and Dogma, for examples ).

* Fahrenheit 9 / 11 ( 2004 ) Moore takes on the George W. Bush administration.

The weather is temperate year-round, due to its location in the Isothermal Belt, a phenomenon that results when warmer air on the western side of the Appalachian Mountains blows over the mountains, leaving a trough where significant temperature inversions of 20 degrees Fahrenheit or greater can occur.

During that time, Fahrenheit met or was in contact with Ole Rømer, Christian Wolff, and Gottfried Leibniz.

# In Touch-Starting from an attempt for cheaper fusion power using superconductivity, which was discovered by Onnes, with liquid gas provided by Louis-Paul Cailletet, who carried out experiments on a tower built by Gustave Eiffel, who also built the Statue of Liberty with its famous poem by the Jewish activist Emma Lazarus, helped by Oliphant, whose boss Elgin was the son of the man who stole the Elgin Marbles and sold them with the help of royal painter Thomas Lawrence, whose colleague Dr. Hunter had an assistant whose wife's lodger was Benjamin Franklin, who charted the Gulf Stream with a thermometer Fahrenheit borrowed from Ole Rømer, whose friend Picard surveyed Versailles and provided the water for the fountains and the royal gardens and all the trees that inspired Duhamel to write the book on gardening that was read by the architect William Chambers, who hired the Scottish stonemason Thomas Telford, whose idea for London Bridge was turned down by Thomas Young, whose light waves travel in ether, as do Hertz's electricity waves, with which Helmholtz prods a frog to disprove the vitalists, whose leader, Klages, analyzes handwriting so individual zip codes have to be capital letters to get your mail to a jungle village to keep you " In Touch ".

The development of today's thermometers and temperature scales began in the early 18th century, when Gabriel Fahrenheit adapted a thermometer using mercury and a scale both developed by Ole Christensen Rømer.

The Fahrenheit scale later was redefined to make the freezing-to-boiling interval exactly 180 degrees, a convenient value as 180 is a highly composite number, meaning that it is evenly divisible into many fractions.

Until the switch to the Celsius scale, the Fahrenheit scale was widely used in Europe.

Fahrenheit is the temperature scale proposed in 1724 by, and named after, the physicist Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit ( 1686 – 1736 ).

The Fahrenheit scale was replaced by the Celsius scale in most countries during the mid to late 20th century.

Fahrenheit remains the official scale of the United States, Cayman Islands and Belize.

The Rankine temperature scale was based upon the Fahrenheit temperature scale, with its zero representing absolute zero instead.

On the Fahrenheit scale, the freezing point of water is 32 degrees Fahrenheit (° F ) and the boiling point 212 ° F ( at standard atmospheric pressure ).

The impression of " boiling " does not result from the temperature of the water, which stays at 52 degrees Fahrenheit ( 11 degrees Celsius ) year-round, but rather from a unique hydrogeological feature.
