I remember I read somewhere about the boltzmann distribution that it

Click For Summary
The Boltzmann distribution is primarily applicable at high temperatures where classical physics dominates. At low temperatures, quantum effects become significant, leading to the need for Bose-Einstein or Fermi-Dirac statistics, depending on the particle type. In high-temperature scenarios, the kinetic energy of particles overshadows quantum mechanical influences. This shift in statistical behavior is crucial for accurately describing particle distributions in different thermal conditions. Understanding these distinctions is essential for studying thermodynamic systems.

I remember I read somewhere about the Boltzmann distribution that it is only valid for high temperatures. Why is that?

Thread 'Reference frames, center of rotation, etc'

Topic about reference frames, center of rotation, postion of origin etc Comoving ref. frame is frame that is attached to moving object, does that mean, in that frame translation and rotation of object is zero, because origin and axes(x,y,z) are fixed to object? Is it same if you place origin of frame at object center of mass or at object tail? What type of comoving frame exist? What is lab frame? If we talk about center of rotation do we always need to specified from what frame we observe?
