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)

Come on. Rest Mass is a Lorentz invariant scalar.

Never heard of invariant mass, M' = gamma M.

M remains invariant.

I thought we were talking about temperature. What has mass got
to do with it?

Nothing. He seems to believe that the kludge known as "relativistic
mass" somehow invalidates my argument.

This has been going on since April. He didn't understand then, and
doesn't understand now as evidenced by his latest little temper
tantrum. Every so often he has to spam this newsgroup with about 20
posts saying how stupid I am and whatever.

That is the argument for why temperature transforms as such.
