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

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.

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

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

( 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.

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 ).

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 ").

In a scene written years later by Bradbury for the Fahrenheit 451 play, Beatty invites Montag to his house where he shows him walls of books left to molder on their shelves.

It was later published at about 50, 000 words under the name, Fahrenheit 451, for a total cost of $ 9. 80, due to the library's typewriter-rental fees of ten cents per half-hour.

In later chapters, I will show how this increase could lead to a 1 ° Celsius ( 1. 8 ° Fahrenheit ) average warming of the earth's surface ... Another form of atmospheric pollution results from ... atmospheric aerosols ... there is some evidence that atmospheric aerosols may have already affected the climate.

As body temperature varies, the Fahrenheit scale was later changed to use an upper fixed point of boiling water at.

The film proved to be the most successful documentary in American history at the time in its theatrical run ( since surpassed at the box office by Moore's later documentaries Bowling for Columbine and Fahrenheit 9 / 11 ) and enjoyed wide critical acclaim.

Moore revisits Flint and its economic decline again in later films, including The Big One, Bowling for Columbine, Fahrenheit 9 / 11, and Capitalism: A Love Story.

Herrmann subsequently moved to England, where he was hired by François Truffaut to write the score for Fahrenheit 451 and, later, for The Bride Wore Black.

According to Karen Kucher, when Fahrenheit 9 / 11 was nearing release to the home-video market, two additional Congressmen's children were stationed in Iraq: the son of Congressman Duncan L. Hunter ( R-CA ), USMC Lieutenant Duncan D. Hunter ( who was later elected to Congress himself ); and the son of Joe Wilson ( R-SC ), Army National Guard Captain Alan Wilson.

There was a very famous player and later coach named Ignacio Trelles, who ordered to irrigate the field one hour before the soccer match, leading to a very strong vaporization and an increase of the temperature to near 40 Celsius ( more or less 100 Fahrenheit ), that was very hard for the visitor squads.

A few adventure game have tried to use the term to liken the storytelling of their games to those in movies, most notably the later Tex Murphy games and the more recent Fahrenheit ( Indigo Prophecy ), although they are more aptly classified as genre hybrids.

Fahrenheit was born in 1686 in Danzig ( Gdańsk ), the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, but lived most of his life in the Dutch Republic.

Daniel was the eldest of the five Fahrenheit children ( two sons, three daughters ) who survived childhood.

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

Fahrenheit died in The Hague and was buried there at the Kloosterkerk ( Cloister Church ).

In writing the short novel Fahrenheit 451 I thought I was describing a world that might evolve in four or five decades.

Entitled Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451: The Authorized Adaptation, the paperback graphic adaptation was illustrated by Tim Hamilton.

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.

Fahrenheit 451 inspired the Birmingham Repertory Theatre production " Time Has Fallen Asleep in the Afternoon Sunshine ", which was performed at the Birmingham Central Library in April 2012.

The film Equilibrium was heavily influenced by Fahrenheit 451 and Nineteen Eighty-Four.

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.

The Fahrenheit scale was the primary temperature standard for climatic, industrial and medical purposes in English-speaking countries until the 1960s.

Ashcroft composed a paean called " Let the Eagle Soar " which he sang at the Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary in February 2002, which was satirically featured in Michael Moore's 2004 movie Fahrenheit 9 / 11 and has been frequently mocked by comedians such as David Letterman, Stephen Colbert and David Cross, to name a few.

On December 17, 1997, Microsoft and SGI initiated the Fahrenheit project, which was a joint effort with the goal of unifying the OpenGL and Direct3D interfaces ( and adding a scene-graph API too ).

Alan Petersen ’ s Farenhype 9 / 11 was released in response to Fahrenheit 9 / 11s success in theaters.

Best known for his dystopian novel Fahrenheit 451 ( 1953 ) and for the science fiction and horror stories gathered together as The Martian Chronicles ( 1950 ) and The Illustrated Man ( 1951 ), Bradbury was one of the most celebrated 20th-century American writers.

The temperature at kickoff was a windy 39 degrees Fahrenheit, making this the coldest outdoor Super Bowl to date.

Virtually all Canadian ovens make legal use of the Fahrenheit scale.

He passed on the project to make Fahrenheit 451.

:" In spring 2004, in the wake of Ray Bradbury pitching a tantrum over Michael Moore appropriating the title of Fahrenheit 451 to make Fahrenheit 9 / 11, I conceived of a plan to write a series of stories with the same titles as famous sf shorts, which would pick apart the totalitarian assumptions underpinning some of sf's classic narratives.
