How does a thermometer use integers?

For temperatures, zero is an arbitrary reference point, depending on which scale is used. For Celsius, zero is assigned the the temperature at which water freezes. So temperatures which are colder than this temperature will be negative values, and temperatures warmer will be positive values. Fahrenheit uses a different reference point for zero, but similar principles apply.

An object that has NO kinetic energy must be?

An object with zero kinetic energy is at rest. However, since reference frames are relative, the calculation of kinetic energy is done with reference to an arbitrary point.


Does absolute potential energy both zero and negative at point of infinity?

There is really no such a thing as "absolute potential energy"; potential energy refers to the difference in energy between two points. For purposes of calculation, a convenient reference point is often chosen, and one such reference point is a point at an infinite distance.
