Starting from the everyday sense of hot and cold, this route follows how physics describes energy moving from one place to another.

About this route

One question is published in English so far: what heat is, held apart from the internal energy a body carries.

The route continues from there into what temperature measures, and into how thermal radiation crosses a vacuum. Those pages exist in Japanese and are not translated yet, so they are not listed here. A route lists only what is published in the language it is written in.
