in PV=NrT, V should change from a relativistic viewpoint, since 
length appears to change.  In order to keep PV=NrT accurate, does 
any other variable change?  Does the constant change?  If P or T 
change, would this mean that an object could appear to be in 2 
different states (such as liquid and solid) at the same time, but 
from different frames of refer
