Yes, I know it's a frequency, GB. You mean a *measurable frequency*
such as what could be measured in a diffraction experiment or a
"hidden" frequency?

A diatomic gas of volume 22.1 L at STP has a certain amount of thermal
energy. What frequency do you associate with that energy, and how would
it be measured?

But, that's just changing the reference frame. So you say that
measuring the momentum in the table frame gives the "wrong" momentum,
and measuring in the sun's frame gives the "right" momentum"? How do
you know?

Is there a single reference frame where the "true" momentum should be
measured?
