My SO said the above statement and gave me an explanation “Cold is the absence of heat or energy”, it does make sense however in my head it is like saying (in very simplistic terms) “the countryside is the absence of a city” and that is just a ridiculous statement.

It’s always a little disappointing when you come across a definition of something in terms of what it’s not, but sometimes it’s appropriate. Saying that cold is the absence of heat doesn’t mean there’s no such thing as cold; it just means that cold is what you get when you don’t have heat. We can conceptualize dark as a thing even if we know it’s the absence of light.
