36 Degrees a performance "The average body temperature is 37 degrees. This is a song called 36 Degrees", further adding to the speculation. However, the term "36 degrees" also means two people who are not getting on in urban slang; therefore the idea of the song being written for a break-up could well be true. The other numbers mentioned have been said to just be random, as "they just seemed to fit" according to Molko. The music video, directed by Chris Cunningham, was shot primarily in a scuba diving pool and shows band members performing the song underwater. Some scenes were shot
Thermodynamic temperature low temperatures, the thermodynamic temperature of any "bulk quantity" of a substance (a statistically significant quantity of particles) is directly proportional to the mean average kinetic energy of a specific kind of particle motion known as "translational motion." These simple movements in the three "x", "y", and "z"–axis dimensions of space means the particles move in the three spatial "degrees of freedom." The temperature derived from this translational kinetic energy is sometimes referred to as "kinetic temperature" and is equal to the thermodynamic temperature over a very wide range of temperatures. Since there are three translational degrees of freedom (e.g.,
