@FF/Vul..technically, you register a rate of change when you feel "ouch, hot". That's why incredibly hot and incredibly cold things are confused. Similar rates of change. It's an indirect and imprecise measerement of temperature with a known mechanism and known flaws. We don;t have a little vial of mercury in our hands..so we work with what we have.
There isn;t a sense that we posess that doesn;t have an explanation like this. Touch is mechanoreceptor pressure, for example.You never actually "touch" the object(in the way we conceptualize it, at least)...it simply repulses your tissue and we have specialized nerve endings that register the compression.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
