For the Celsius scale you convert to the absolute temp scale, Kelvin, by adding 273.15. Half of zero degrees Kelvin is zero. Here is the strange part now. All matter is not only particles but waves as well. The wavelength is equal to planks constant divided by the momentum. For an atom at absolute zero you have zero momentum. That stretchs out the wavelength to infinity as you get close to absolute zero.
One of the bizarre effects because of this is what is known as a Bose-Einstein condensate. Atoms lose their individual nature and become part of a large wave instead. This effect is only seen in labs because the natural low temperature of the Universe is not cold enough to see this effect.
A leap day every 400 years is .0025 of a day, not .0022 , so the Gregorian calendar is 365.2425 days long.
Look at Christopher Clavius: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_Clavius

True, but you will only be 20 in 2100 since you will only have one fourth as many birthdays.

Where does space go?
I know how to fix the leap year problem
Maybe I should start a Go Fund Me.

James M. Wilson, a premier of Tasmania in the mid-19th century, was born AND DIED on Leap Day (1812-1880).
If you’re in a room of mirrors on all sides plus floor and ceiling - and you turn off the lights, how long before the room goes dark?
Our building has a ground floor. With the 1st floor the next one above.
So the answer is 3 in my case.
In 1980, Goldie Howe, of the Hartford Whalers, scored his 800th goal of his NHL career.
Happy Bisextile Day!
Zero degrees Fahrenheit is 255.372° Kelvin. Half of that is 127.686° K, which is -229.835° F.
Zero degrees Celsius is 273.15° Kelvin. Half of that is 136.575° K, which is -136.575° C.
Yes, you’re right. I don’t know why I thought I had calculated it as .2422 earlier...
“...how long before the room goes dark?”
Light travels at...186,282 miles per second (299,792 kilometers per second)...so it would depend on the size of the room, I guess?
(Yes...I had to look that up. LOL.)
When the light goes back on— how long before you see anything?
