And I still could smash my primary school teacher: When I asked "what happens if we subtract a bigger number from a smaller?", she answered "that’s not possible". :( She could have easily told me "you will learn that later" or just show me at the thermometer "look, we will get below zero"... But noo, better keep children dumb, otherwise they could outwit you.
Sorry for ranting ;) but with your thermometer example young Alan (who watches discovery channel on a daily basis and later becomes a low temperature expert) would outwit you as he would challenge you to subtract 300 from zero
No, - 273.15 ;-) Alan
