An ongoing list of questions about thermal physics...
- What is temperature? What is heat? How does that relate to energy (Joules)? Why work with temperature at all and not just joules? Is it fundamental or more anthropomorphic?
- Is 'heat' a distinct source or form of energy? Or is it just an old misunderstanding of other forces (e.g. lattice vibration)? Then what causes heat? What causes energy?
- How does total internal energy relate to it's temperature? how come we don't need mc^2 for temperature?
