What Is Heat

[flacaltenn]

In FACT -- a log not even burning has a potential heat value measured in BTUs. That "potential heat" stuff will probably blow your mind.. It's a measure of heat not even in evidence.

Is it stored heat energy? As Palin would say.. "You Betcha" !!!!

Likewise an air molecule at higher altitude has much of its energy stored as gravitational potential. This does not show up as kinetic 'temperature' but it has the same energy as a surface molecule. Does SSDD's daemon take this into consideration when deciding what types of radiation are allowed?

 

[Crick]

Of course it does. It has magic.

The semantics don't affect the math. I am SURPRISED that such sloppy argument exists, but I'm not confused by it...

I am not surprised at al/ that science remains conflicted over such a basic issue ...and I am equally not surprised that you think you know the correct answer based on your belief in your chosen side of the disagreement....never mind that equally credible sources are saying entirely different things.
