| The '''Ehrenfest–Tolman effect''' (also known as the '''Tolman–Ehrenfest effect'''), created by [[Richard Chase Tolman|Richard C. Tolman]] and [[Paul Ehrenfest]], argues that [[temperature]] is not constant in space at [[thermal equilibrium]], but varies with the spacetime curvature. Specifically, it depends on the [[spacetime]] metric. In a stationary spacetime with timelike [[killing vector field]] <math>\xi</math>, the temperature <math>T</math> satisfies instead the Tolman-Ehrenfest relation: <math>T\,\xi=\mathrm{constant}</math>.

| This relationship leads to the concept of ''thermal time'' which has been considered as a possible basis for a fully general-relativistic thermodynamics. It has been shown that the Tolman–Ehrenfest effect can be derived by applying the [[equivalence principle]] to the concept that temperature is the rate of thermal time with respect to proper time.<ref>[http://arxiv.org/abs/1005.2985 arxiv.org/abs/1005.2985] Rovelli & Smerlak, 2010, Classical and Quantum Gravity, 28, 4]</ref>

Got nothing to tell about myself I think.
Great to be a part of wmflabs.org.
I really hope I'm useful at all
