Marian PaluchSilesian University “unambiguously that it is temperature, and not density, that is the overwhelmingly dominant control variable”; „This suggest that theories which focus on thermal effects and totally ignore density variations can be appropriate” (Ferrer, et al., 1999) “relaxation processes arise from molecular motions that are driven by temporal fluctuations in thermal energy … not a time-averaged quantity such as free volume” (Williams, 1997) Prevailing viewpoint:
