ABSTRACT Modern thermodynamics treats temperature as a kind of energy, as if it were heat itself; and, consequently, it treats entropy as if it were a dimensionless index or coefficient. We have shown at length that entropy is neither an index nor some ersatz replacement for energy. In the present communication we demonstrate how the concept and functions of temperature in modern thermodynamics are erroneous. Then we propose a radically novel treatment of temperature based on physical data and foundational analytical relations. We prove our point by illustrating the current temperature-based illusions regarding thermonuclear fusion.
