Laying the ghost of the relativistic temperature transformation

arXiv:physics/9610016 · doi:10.1016/S0375-9601(96)00791-8

Abstract

Using the Unruh-DeWitt detector, it is shown that a universal and continuous Lorentz transformaion of temperature cannot exist for black-body radiation. Since any valid Lorentz transformation of temperature must be able to deal with black-body radiation, it is concluded that a universal and continuous temperature transformation does not exist.
