I've got a question...
I would've posted this question in the chemistry newsgroup but the
people in there seem like idiots and I fear it would never get answered. Heat is defined as the vibration of molecules right? Well how does heat then travels through a vacuum? |

Why do you think so?
Photons travel carrying energy but not heat. Best wishes, Alexander Pavlik |

The kinetic energy from atomic vibrations en masse can be propagated
through a medium. Also, heat may be transmitted via photons carrying light energy... its all just conversion of one form of energy to another.
