*MUST* be a Lorentz invariant scalar.
Water would be a vapor or ice in other reference frames otherwise
IDIOT if Temperature did not remain invariant.
Temperature is not invariant. It transforms as
T' = T * (1 - v^2/c^2)^(1/2)
where T is the temperature in the rest frame. See R.K. Parthia, _Statistical Mechanics_, p. 152 ff. for a discussion.
