Four Dials, One Equation

PV = nRT ties a gas’s pressure, volume, amount and temperature into a single sentence. Turn one dial and the others answer. There is exactly one way to break it, and almost everyone does: putting Celsius where kelvin belongs. Watch that error happen, and watch it get struck out.
