My thinking is that they may travel at the same speed but the shorter waves have a longer way to go because of all the zigzagging.
Every thing above absolute zero in temperature radiates photons, the hotter the item is, the shorter the wavelength and the faster the vibration.
I think I understand what you guys are saying, that heat is not a substance in itself but rather a phenomenon that occurs when any particle vibrates. That's my understanding. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.
