For distance and mass, zero means no distance and no mass.

For temperature though having none means no kinetic energy of atoms/molecules. It’s absolute zero, the zero Kelvin. So the other units are the weird ones.

But since zero Kelvin isn’t a phenomenon you’ll ever encounter in nature, it makes Kelvin a pretty unappealing scale for everyday life.

And thus we started making shit up…

P.S. My bad Rankine also shakes hands with Kelvin about absolute zero, very demure, very mindful.
