164-Weather Editor, Salt Lake Herald:
Permit me to submit my solution of
your problem, How cold must il be to
be twice as cold at degrees above zero?"
1 would say that the answer cannot be
expressed. and in explanation state as
follows: Cold is the absence of heat and,
as the limit of the greatest heat has
never been determined, it is not known
how far from that limit degrees above
zero is. Therefore, it is impossible to
state the degree that would be twice as
far from that limit of heat. In other
words, as there is no settled heat limit:
il cannot be determined how much heat
has been taken away or how much heat
is absent, to produce the degree of cold
called two degrees above zero. There
fore 1t is impossible to determine how
much heat must be absent in order that
twice as much heat be absent as the I'M
known amount Of absent heat when the
thermometer stands at 2 degrees above
Ze-a-
An analogous problem would be, when
must man be born to be born twice as
far from the beginning of time as Mr.
Jones, who was born in 1915 A. D.? This
would be impossible TO compute, as the
distance to the beginning of time from
1915 A. D. cannot be determined. Yours
