what?
what is S here on the page? it's undefined
 * $$S = k \ln \Omega, \,$$ —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.16.123.194 (talk) 16:45, 10 February 2009 (UTC)


 * $$S$$ is entropy, and it is defined as $$k \ln \Omega$$. False vacuum (talk) 10:23, 23 October 2010 (UTC)

When?
I recall being taught reciprocal temperature – as a more fundamental expression of the physics of matter – way back in the late 1950 in undergrad courses. We were taught not only the points in this article, but also the advantages of complex temperatures and their reciprocals in several fields of application.

Perhaps somebody can provide more of the uses, and advantages of reciprocals, negative and complex temperatures as discussed beyond the cites here. Is this article a promotion of one school of thought, sprung in full panoply from the forehead of a recent Zeus? GreggEdwards (talk) 18:57, 14 September 2018 (UTC)
