Hypothermia of below 98.6 K should be treated by leaving the giant molecular cloud and moving to the vicinity of a star.

      That one is easy. Rankine and Kelvin line up at 0 and technically a bit at 1 as well. sort of.

      More like 0.5555 Kelvin and 1 Rankine, but I’m allowed to round up a bit in this.

          Never. Rankine increases faster than Celcius, so the two will never cross

          • Rankine starts at zero
          • Celsius starts at -273.15°
          • Rankine at room temperature 527.67
          • Celcius at room temperature 20

          Those lines do not cross

            Huh, so the lines do cross, just at a pysically impossible temperature of -614.5875. Neat!
