Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.
This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

no matter means no heat transmission through conduction (=particle motion), only radiation
@Reach_the_man so wait, is not heat a form of energy (or a result thereof)? can energy not dissipate through a vacuum?
or is it that the energy dissipates less effectively when it can't transfer itself *as heat* through a medium?
heat is describing the average kinetic energy of the material's particles, with no contact it can't transfer as kinetic energy, only through photons emitted
@Reach_the_man that clears it up for me! thanks for taking the time to answer
