Illustrate the notion that 1/T is a more natural measurement of temperature than T (K) itself.
Of course, there is no doubt that the temperature is a central concept of thermal physics and that is why a lot of researchers were trying, in different ways, to bring the temperature concept on the safer grounds
Thus such a shift from an operative physical definition to a metaphysical one, very satisfactory for theoreticians, makes any actual temperature measurement performed by experimentalists an inexplicable obscure ritual. For researchers who consider the thermal physics being nothing but an outgrowth of statistical mechanics, the statistical temperature T of a system can be defined by a formula
1/T = k (d ln /dE)
