342. Thermal equilibrium in special relativity
David Cubero is professor at the Department of Applied Physics of the University of Sevilla. Dmitry.
Special relativity, despite being more than a hundred years old, still shows an intriguing capacity to surprise us in very fundamental issues, such as thermal equililbrium. In this post, we will review a recent controversy about the proper velocity distribution of dilute gases at thermal equilibrium.
