The FT spoil this otherwise mildly interesting article on the Cern Large Hadron Collider with this:
...50,000 tonnes of equipment have to be cooled to just 1.8°Kelvin above absolute zero...
Wrong, wrong, wrong. "Kelvin", in this context, means "°C above absolute zero", which in turn is "the temperature at which nothing could be colder and no heat energy remains in a substance ... by definition, exactly 0 K and −273.15 °C."
So, expanding the above quote, we get:
...50,000 tonnes of equipment have to be cooled to just 1.8°°C above absolute zero above absolute zero...
They’re economically illiterate
