The thermostat in physics labs is apparently set to the Boltzmann constant—a fundamental constant of nature that relates temperature to energy. The dial shows it can be adjusted between 1.418×10-23 J/K and 1.351×10-23 J/K, which is hilarious because the actual value is 1.380649×10-23 J/K. So they've basically got a thermostat that can only be set to "slightly wrong" or "even more wrong." Classic physicist humor—pretending extreme precision while missing the mark entirely. This is why experimentalists and theorists can never share an office.
