Temperature by Maxwell |
Gravimotion's point of view | |
Temperature is behind heat transferA transfer of heat coincides to a drop in temperature of the heat source while the temperature of the recipient is increased.The fundamental entity behind heat transfer is difference of temperatures. 
What is temperature?Maxwell in the 1850’s theorized that the temperature of a body of matter or gas is coincidental to the individual motions of the body’s own molecules. And that whether that body be gas such as air or solid such as a piece of rock or even such as your own body. Molecules motions within matter. (Reality!) |
No comment!At first one is just speechless face to face with Maxwell!Maxwell PragmatismThe imagination of Maxwell provides us with a "simple" picture (left graph) of reality.The motion of the molecules is the fundamental phenomenon behind our feeling of temperature. On the other hand, temperature defined as a number of degrees Fahrenheit or Celsius, while involving a great number of molecules in motion, is a compounded phenomenon. Heat transfer and entropyHeat transfer is a compounded phenomenon because (see previous page) it is based on two or more phenomenon other than itself; heat transfer is the effect of at least two different temperatures; yet temperature is now also a compounded phenomenon.Heat transfer rather than a degradation of energy is in reality (according to Maxwell ideas) a remote by product (down two levels of cause and effect) of a fundamental phenomenon that is the motion of the molecules. And entropy, an idea coinciding to the converse of heat transfer is then a concept down two levels of abstraction starting with our concept of temperature, rather than starting at Maxwell fundamental motion of the molecules. The entropy concept invented before the discovery of the physical motions of the molecules, has suprisingly never been questioned for that matter! Yet entropy is far from being a fundamental entity of Nature. | |
A graph of Temperature |

Another strike of Maxwell's GeniusBesides emitting the above idea, which by itself makes of Maxwell a genius, Maxwell furthermore provides us with a graph of the averages velocities of a body’s molecules, in which a peak speed coincides to a specific temperature!A physical cause that is a specific speed of the molecules is now behind a specific temperature. 
Temperature versus molecule speed.(A mathematical graph.) |
Maxwell theoretical geniusIntroducing the use of "statistics" Maxwell "links" a specific temperature to a specific speed of the molecules.Essentially Maxwell provides the means to concisely represent a compounded phenomenon! Opening an irreversible mathematical pathNote that in this representation, gone are the individual motions of the molecules. We are now dealing with a compounded representation of a compounded phenomenon.And any one must admit that in reverse, should we try to describe the fundamental phenomenon with the graph on the left there would be no way to draw the individual motions of the molecules! And there is nothing to be surprised of; to draw this graph one makes abstraction of the individual motions of the molecules! | |
Other aspects of Maxwell's genius |
Physics choice | |
|
Amazingly, Maxwell is also famous (if not more) for his equations that describe the electromagnetic phenomenon. |
In the footsteps of Maxwell, physics has the opportunity to choose in between two different paths. One of these path is the Entropy path (introduced previous page), which ignores and bypasses the individual motions of the molecules and deals exclusively with the compounded phenomenon of temperature and alleged degradation of energy using now Maxwell statistics. Yet physics could also follow a path along the fundamental phenomenon (the motions of the molecules), which, granted, appears chaotic, yet which would be closer to reality as being the physical cause behind both temperature and heat transfer. As you probably know, physics somehow chose the statistical path. Physics embarked relying on the compounded phenomenon and is since remaining faithfull to the idea of entropy. More explanations next page... For your information, the gravimotion theory instead sticks to the fundamental phenomenon of the motions of the molecules, and their effect, gravimotion's so called equalization phenomenon. | |
This page SUMMARY:Clearly it is Maxwell who uncovered the reality of Nature!Maxwell discovered the fundamental phenomenon behind temperature that is the motion of the molecules. Furthermore and as a bonus Maxwell introduced statistics to represent the compounded phenomenon of temperature. Find out next page how the concept of entropy, while evolving at same time departs from the reality unveiled by Maxwell. | ||
