Particle theory also includes the concept of momentum for each individual particle. The ideal gas law describes this very clearly: pv=nRt. Kinetic energy is responsible for the temperature (t) in the above equation. Note that classical mechanics defines energy as E=(mv**2)/2. The first indication that the Einsteinian formal was true came with nuclear fission results in the 1940's. Prior to that the classical formula was dominant for particle physics. How can this be? Were all old calculations off by a factor of 2? No, the classical formula was quite reliable. The Einsteinian formula is only seen to be valid under conditions not normally encountered on the surface of Earth such a fission and fusion reactions. Jim Rogers
