Description
In the presentation the concept of temperature in relativistic thermodynamics is shortly surveyed and argued that the historical paradoxes are connected to the stability and causality issues of relativistic hydrodynamic theories. It is shown that a choice of "flow frames" (e.g. Eckart or Landau-Lifshitz), that is the definition of the velocity field, can partially hide the problematic aspects but eventually may lead to numerical instabilities.
