• ... that physicist, mathematician, astronomer, and musician Jean-Pierre Christin proposed (1743) the reversal of the Celsius thermometer scale (from water boiling at 0 degrees and ice melting at 100 degrees, to where zero represented the freezing point of water and 100 represented the boiling point of water), and that his system was widely accepted and is still in use today?
• ... that chemist and physicist Henri Victor Regnault discovered that not all gases expand equally when heated, and that Boyle's Law is only an approximation, especially at temperatures near a substance's boiling point?
