Great video and Adorama always does a great job. It should be noted that there is no such thing as "degrees Kelvin" as the word "degrees" means there is no absolute zero point (like F and C). The term is simply "kelvin." This is because the kelvin scale is absolute and the zero point (-273.15 degrees C) is the point at which all matter has no kinetic energy (which is actually what temperature is measuring). It does not affect the techniques described here but educational videos should try to use the most accurate terminology possible. Thanks!
