Instead of cold dark matter, which has mass but beyond that virtually no velocity or temperature, they assumed that the dark matter was "warm," having a low temperature corresponding to an extremely low velocity.
The temperatures at those two points correspond to the boiling points of the two pure components.
Low temperatures and high pulling speeds correspond to higher breaking forces.
It is an analogue of the Ising model in ferromagnetism, where temperature corresponds to particle randomness and spin clusters correspond to particle clusters.
More rigorously the effective temperature corresponds to the temperature at the radius that is defined by the Rosseland optical depth.
A given temperature corresponds to a particular sugar concentration.
The relationship suggests that a positive temperature corresponds to the condition where entropy, S, increases as thermal energy, q, is added to the system.
The heat spikes cools down to the ambient temperature in 1-100 ps, so the "temperature" here does not correspond to thermodynamic equilibrium temperature.
For a flexible polymer, low temperature may correspond to poor quality and high temperature makes the same solvent good.
The overall temperatures corresponded well with terrestrial and modelled estimates of a sea surface temperature around 4-5 warmer than today's.
