Summary

Description
English: Universal coldness/temperature scale in SI units, where coldness[1][2][3][4][5][6] is one possible name for reciprocal-temperature[7] in non-thermal units[8] i.e. β ≡ 1/kT ≡ 1/k dS/dE. This energy uncertainty-slope dS/dE approaches a common value for systems that randomly (or thermally) share energy E, since heat energy naturally flows from low (even negative) to high coldness (toward more "choice of open-slots" or "ways to play", and therefore clockwise) until sharing systems reach a common (equilibrium) value of this slope. Bottom line: 1 Kelvin of ambient temperature requires one to thermalize about 76.5594 picoJoules of ordered energy for every teraByte of subsystem correlation-information created, and 1 nanoJoule/Kelvin of information takes up about 13.0618 teraBytes of memory.

Added notes

The radial lines denote key temperatures, clockwise from bottom including He evaporation (dotted cyan) around 4 K ↔ 3265 GB/nJ (just CCW from the 4732.51 GB/nJ of the 2.76 K cosmic background) and N2 evaporation (dashed cyan) around 77 K ↔ 170 GB/nJ, CO2 sublimation around −78.5 °C ↔ 67.1 GB/nJ (dot-dashed cyan), H2O liquification around 0 °C ↔ 47.8 GB/nJ and evaporation around 100 °C ↔ 35.0 GB/nJ (dot-dashed green), "red-hot" (solid red) around 500 °C ↔ 16.9 GB/nJ, rock melting around 1500 °C ↔ 7.37 GB/nJ (solid magenta), graphite sublimation (dashed magenta) around 3642 °C ↔ 3.34 GB/nJ, and the surface of the sun (dotted magenta) around 5778 K ↔ 2.26 GB/nJ ≈ 2.01 nat/eV. The dashed red lines represent the min-max European temperature range (from 0 °F ↔ 51.2 GB/nJ to 100 °F ↔ 42.0 GB/nJ) on which Fahrenheit based his scale, at top of which is also the human basal temperature at around 98.6 °F ↔ 42.1 GB/nJ. Room temperature (3 o'clock) is defined as either 20 °C = 68 °F ↔ 44.6 GB/nJ ≈ 39.6 nat/eV = 1/kT or 22 °C = 71.6 °F ↔ 44.3 GB/nJ ≈ 39.3 nat/eV = 1/kT, and therefore kTroom is about 1/40 of an electron Volt.

Inverted-population states for finite-energy systems are found on the left half of this plot. These include: (i) 1024 end-on dominoes acting like stonehenge in the earth's gravitational-field (grey-dotted) at −.001[J]/(kBln[1024]) ≈ −1.04×1019 K ↔ −1.25×10−15 GB/nJ, (ii) a mole of excited Ne atoms in a He-Ne LASER ready for stimulated-emission (grey-dashed) at −1.96 [eV]/(kBln[6×1023]) ≈ −415 K ↔ −31.5 GB/nJ, and (iii) the orientation-temperature for 500,001 up out of 1,000,000 proton-spins in a 1 Tesla field (grey) at 1.41×10−26 J/(kB(ψ[1 + 1000000 − 500001] − ψ[1 + 500001])) ≈ −1.41×10−26 J/(kBln[1000000/500001 − 1]) ≈ −255 K ↔ −51.1 GB/nJ where ψ[x] is the PolyGamma function. The dot-dashed grey lines are for 500,002 and 500,003 out of 1,000,000 protons oriented spin-up in that same 1 [Tesla] field.

This plot illustrates that you can use either temperature T or reciprocal-temperature 1/kT to predict the direction of heat-flow. When you use temperature, remember that the highest possible temperature T is minus-zero-Kelvin and the lowest possible T is plus-zero-Kelvin. With coldness 1/kT, the lowest value is minus-infinity and the highest is plus-infinity so that heat energy naturally and simply flows from numerically low to numerically high 1/kT.

In the table of conversions above, note that the uncertainty-slope or coldness β≡1/kT in [GiB/nJ] or [GB/nJ] is nearly equal to the reciprocal of kT in [eV/nat]. Even more curiously, if we don't mind using binary-multiples i.e. gibiBytes instead of powers of ten, we can say that 1 [nat/eV] = 1.04827 [GiB/nJ] = 1.12557 [GB/nJ]. Hence room temperature coldness is about 40 [GiB/nJ] simply because kT at room temperature is about 1/40 [eV].
