Feb 18, 2020 at 12:01 comment added looksquirrel101 Not really. These are concepts that I am aware of. I'm looking for something more quantitative. Perhaps you could elaborate on the temperature of a system containing one particle and how it would be the same for two different inertial observers.

Feb 17, 2020 at 1:52 comment added Licho Temperature inherits this property from entropy, and entropy is the measure of the number of possible microstates. It is a feature of system. That correspond well with the main reason we even talk about temperature - to compare systems in different states. Unless the particle has any internal structure and we wish to consider it a system, there is no meaning to the notion of entropy of a particle.
Feb 17, 2020 at 1:38 comment added looksquirrel101 So according to your last point #1, you are stating that it is not valid to assign individual particles a temperature. Correct?
