Can you please elaborate using an example and if possible quantify (or not)?
I think we all might learn or have our knowledge tested here...I'm totally digging this.
The molecules of an object (A) vibrate generating infrared radiation. If another object (B) with higher vibrations (therefore generating more infrared radiation) is compared, object (A) is cold relative to object (B), whereas Object (B) is warm relative to object (A). The infrared radiation will be exchanged between the two toward equilibrium until they are the same temperature. If they touch, the vibrations will also exchange toward equilibrium, until they are the same temperature.
High school physics for most or in my case, middle school (5-8) physics.
You make people miserable and there's nothing they can do about it, just like god.
