Elementary Particle for Heat?

Heat is molecules bouncing around and when they come into contact with something else, this movement is transferred causing a loss of heat in one and a gain of heat in the other toward equilibrium.  If a 'hot' object is contained within a vacuum, this motion is also contained and it will remain 'hot', however, it will still lose heat (much slower) due to EMR (electro-magnetic radiation), i.e., photons.

Science is like a blabbermouth who ruins a movie by telling you how it ends. There are some things we don't want to know. Important things.
