            <h2 class="text-3xl font-bold text-gray-900 border-b pb-2">A Tale of Two Scales</h2>
            <p>So, why do we have two different ways to measure temperature? It all comes down to history. The <strong class="font-semibold">Fahrenheit</strong> scale was invented by physicist Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit in the early 1700s. He based his scale on what he could reliably reproduce in his lab, like the freezing point of brine.</p>
            <p>A few decades later, Swedish astronomer Anders Celsius proposed his own scale. The <strong class="font-semibold">Celsius</strong> scale, originally called centigrade, was much simpler: 0° for the freezing point of water and 100° for its boiling point. Because of this logical simplicity, it was widely adopted by the scientific community and most countries around the world.</p>
            <p>Today, the Fahrenheit scale is primarily used in the United States and a few other territories, while the rest of the world predominantly uses Celsius. Knowing how to convert between them is a handy skill for any global citizen!</p>
