The temperature of a mechanical body has a kinetic interpretation: it describes the relative motion of particles within the body. Since the relative velocity of two particles is a Lorentz invariant, so is the temperature. In statistical…

We consider a quantum system of fixed size consisting of a regular chain of $n$-level subsystems, where $n$ is finite. Forming groups of $N$ subsystems each, we show that the strength of interaction between the groups scales with $N^{-…
The Stefan-Boltzmann constant arose from photon densities inside a cavity, but inside matter photon mode densities are material specific. Photon speeds are governed by the mode they occupy, so mode densities can be expressed in terms of…
