Makes sense. I always knew Kelvin started at absolute zero, but I don't think I had ever heard of a ratio scale. I'm sure it has some kind of statistical implications about how you can analyze the data right?

Yeah, something like that. Scales of measurement is mostly a formality in undergrad but it does determine eventually what you can and can't do with that scale.
