How does cold transfer if it’s just the absence of heat?
In: Physics
Cold doesn’t transfer, as in cold moving from one object to another. As you said cold is the absence of heat, so a colder space tends to attract heat. The cold isn’t moving into a new area, heat is being sucked away from said area into the colder space. Think of it like oxygen in a vacuum where the barrier between the two gets broken (window in space ship breaks. The vacuum isn’t moving into the oxygenated area, the oxygen is being pulled into the vacuum.
