Abstract
Using the Unruh-DeWitt detector, it is shown that a universal and cont inuous Lorentz transformation of temperature cannot exist for black-bo dy radiation. Since any valid Lorentz transformation of temperature mu st be able to deal with black-body radiation, it is concluded that a u niversal and continuous temperature transformation does not exist.
