The temperature at which books burn.
Paper ignites?
Yes. Only it should have been 451° Celsius. It was a mistake in the book name.
This does not appear to be correct. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autoignition_temperature gives the point for paper as "218–246 °C (424–475 °F)" which roughly matches the title as published.
average of those two is 449.5, which is 1.5 below 451. like, oh no he missed one of the averages by 1.5 degrees because he asked someone because he himself did not know, and was still within any reasonable margin of error. burn him at the stake.
No. It's the guillotine for this exhumed corpse.
Yeah, it's the person I was replying to who was saying that Bradbury made a mistake by saying 451°F, and that it should have been 451°C. I cited the range to demonstrate that Bradbury's number was roughly correct and 451°C is very much not.
No it wasn’t. Bradbury asked and was told that was the autoingition temperature of book paper
