Abstract

[The theory of relativity must have implications in thermodynamics on two counts. Firstly, hot bodies are heavier than cold ones, because their atoms, or molecules have a bigger speed and therefore more mass. And secondly, since no particle can move faster than the speed of light, the velocity distribution of the particles must reflect the fact.]
