Is There a Temperature? Conceptual Challenges at High Energy, Acceleration and Complexity /
Physical bodies can be hot or cold, moving or standing,simple or complex. In all such cases one assumes that their respective temperature is a well defined attribute. What if, however, the ordinary measurement of temperature by direct body contact is not possible? One conjectures its value, and y...
