Danilo Blanu?a (December 7 1903 - August 8 1987) was a Croatian mathematician, physicist, engineer and a professor at the University of Zagreb.

Physics

His works were mostly related to the theory of relativity. He discovered a mistake in relations for absolute heat Q and temperature T in relativistic phenomenological thermodynamics, published by Max Planck in Annalen der Physik in 1908.

• Q0 and T0 are the corresponding classical values, and a=(1-v₂/c₂)^1/2

in the relation ? Q=Q0a, T=T0a

really should be ? Q=Q0/a, T=T0/a

This correction was published in Glasnik, the journal relating to mathematics, physics and astronomy in 1947 in article "Sur les paradoxes de la notion d'énergie". It was rediscovered in 1960 and the correction is still wrongly attributed to H. Ott in the mainstream scientific literature.
