Re: A question on inelastic relativistic collisions



Actually I'm thinking more in terms of a microscopic field theory in a
hot, dense, MOVING, background than in a macroscopic contribution to e.g.
gravitation. The result would be a lot closer to Schwinger source terms!

James,
You are absolutely correct that there is a component of the
stress-energy tensor that contains the temperature. It is rather messy
but I can try to put it up here or send it to you personally if you
wish. I wish I understood this really well, but I think that is limited
to only a couple of people who have a true intuitive feel for
relativity, one of which is John A. Wheeler (you are close though).
