Except we know there's a lower range for temperature (zero kelvin). We don't know really know the upper range. Being impossible to reach zero isn't the same as infinity, and I don't know how you'd scale heat increases as you get exponentially hotter.

As an example, the hottest theoretical temperature is Planck temperature, which is 10^32 kelvin. How do you scale that in reverse? Assume 10^32 is 1, so our regular temperatures start at 10^31.9999...? I don't know how you'd apply an inverse scale like this in a realistic way. Its nonsensical.

I think you are confused with the statement that we cannot invent things without a reference.

The very core of language and words is based on the concept of creating symbols as reference, putting those together and assign a generally accepted meaning to those symbols we now call "words ".

You can put any of the existing symbols together to create a word. All you need to do is get people to assign a collective meaning to it.

I’m thinking they did not respect the relationship so the person had to walk away. Had a friend that kept saying I should date them, instead of my spouse, so I had to walk away. They were fun, and a good friend, but they couldn’t accept that I wasn’t interested in dating them and it made the friendship very uncomfortable.
