Comments by "Mat Broomfield" (@matbroomfield) on "Celsius Made His Thermometer Upside Down" video.
There's an EXCELLENT objective reason for counting up rather than down on the scale. 100 may have represented the number of sub divisions to boiling point, but so far as he knew, even though he was delineating the range from freezing to boiling point, there was no upper limit to temperature, so you would have to prefix an almost infinite number of temperatures by the word "minus" or "negative".
