Lord Kelvin proposed the Kelvin temperature scale in 1848, which is based on absolute zero, the theoretical lowest possible temperature. He communicated his idea to other scientists through publications and presentations at scientific meetings. Kelvin's scale was eventually adopted as the standard for scientific temperature measurements due to its simplicity and alignment with the laws of thermodynamics.
the celsius absolute scale is called what?
The concept of absolute zero was introduced by physicist William Thomson, also known as Lord Kelvin, in the 19th century. Kelvin proposed the absolute temperature scale, which sets the zero point at absolute zero (-273.15 degrees Celsius), where molecular motion theoretically ceases.

The Kelvin temperature scale
Lord Kelvin, whose real name was William Thomson, is credited with the discovery of the Kelvin scale of temperature. He proposed this absolute temperature scale in the mid-19th century, establishing 0 K as the point at which all thermal motion ceases.
Anders Celsius introduced the Celsius scale in 1742, based on a scale where 0 represented the freezing point of water and 100 the boiling point. Lord Kelvin proposed the Kelvin scale in 1848, setting 0 as absolute zero, the theoretical temperature at which all molecular movement ceases.
Degrees in Kelvin scale = Degrees in Celsius scale + 273,15.
William Thomson, also known as Lord Kelvin developed the kelvin scale 1848.

The Kelvin scale was developed by William Thomson, also known as Lord Kelvin, a Scottish physicist. It is an absolute temperature scale where zero represents the absence of all thermal energy, or absolute zero.
