Medical thermometer Bahamas, Belize, and the Cayman Islands. Prominent Dutch mathematician, astronomer and physicist Christiaan Huygens created a clinical thermometer in 1665, to which he added an early form of the centigrade scale by setting the scale to the freezing and boiling points of water. By 1742 Swedish astronomer Anders Celsius created the Celsius temperature scale that was the reverse of the modern scale, in that "0" was the boiling point of water, while "100" was freezing. It would later be reversed by Swedish botanist Carolus Linnaeus (1707–1778) in 1744. Working independently of Celsius, the Lyonnais physicist Jean-Pierre Christin, permanent secretary of

In contrast Kennicott described "Celsius 41.11" as "dull, lazy and inconsistent". "Celsius 41.11" was criticised for sharing some of what reviewers perceived to be the flaws of "Fahrenheit 9/11". For example, Desson Thomson of the "Washington Post" (although generally positive about "Celsius 41.11") said that in the case of both films "the spleen factor could poison small children". Writing in the "Milwaukee Journal Sentinel" Duane Dudek said, "as with "Fahrenheit 9/11", it's impossible to separate
