Why can not $\beta$ not be linearly proportional to $T$, that is $\beta = constant \times T$?
$\beta$ inin statistical mechanics is equal to $T$$\frac{1}{k_BT}$ in in thermodynamics, but I do not understand why$\beta=\frac{1}{KT}$ not$\beta=K T$$\beta\propto T^{-1}$ instead of, say, $\beta\propto T$?
