Re: What Flows?




Both Paul and David cleverly sidestep the point I briefly tried to make, i.e:

In the case of "heat flows", [from my viewpoint] it is not the students
[views] which pose the principle concern, *it is the instructors*!!! Sure
if one has the time for Socratic progression throughout the term, start
with >"fire, water, earth, and air" {where ever the students are] But if
the >*instructor* does not understand the correct nature of "heat"
[and The First Law]

I sidestepped it because I don't necessarily disagree with it. I did
disagree with the other bit.

Heat is not energy.
Heat does not flow.
Heat is work!!!!
