In one old version in wikipedia, the Stefan-Boltzmann law was derived in n-dimensions:
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.ph...Stefan–Boltzmann's_law_in_n-dimensional_space
Then one theoretical physicist come and deleted it:
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Stefan–Boltzmann_law&oldid=758438490
His reason was:
Deleted section on law in n-dimensional space; little physical relevance; hardly belongs in a textbook, certainly not an encyclopedia. Associated paper by Giddings has a total of 5 citations on Google scholar to date..
What is really the problem with this derivation that it cannot belong to wikipedia or to a textbook? We cannot test it, but the derivation is straightforward, are there any alternative?
