Abstract
P. T. LANDSBERG in an interesting note1 suggests that the “true” value of temperature of a moving body at relativistic speeds will appear to be the same as the temperature measured in the inertial frame of the body itself. He reaches this conclusion by re-defining temperature in terms of entropy and of internal energy.
