| Oct 20, 2020 at 12:57 | comment | added | daydreamer | So... how can we define Temperature in the first place? The heat bath example (Landsberg) is surely not welcoming: if we could define a Temperature in the first place, then were we in a privileged reference frame? I think this touches the subleteties of defining equilibrium and all... May someone please enlighten me? | |

Aviation recognizes a bunch of temperature quantities related to relative speed, as dictated by practical engineering necessity. So, from practical points of view (like thermal durability of materials), the rise of temperature at relativistic velocities would be massive. | |

Bibliography, mostly.
