The discussion centers on the equation E = kT, where k represents the Boltzmann constant and T denotes absolute temperature. Participants emphasize that thermal energy is intrinsically linked to the absolute temperature, and altering this temperature variable raises questions about the validity of the equation. The consensus indicates that if temperature is treated as a variable, the equation does not transform into E = kdT, as this misrepresents the relationship between energy and temperature.
