The temperature of regular stuff is basically just a measurement of jiggliness of the atomsand molecules that make that stuff up. More jiggling, higher temperature. Less jiggling,lower temperature.Of course, when something's at a high temperature, it feels hot, and when something's at a lowtemperature, it feels cold. Right?mmmjhyyaaanot exactlyIf you touch a piece of metal and a book that have been sitting in your fridge, the metalwill feel much colder than the book - Derek of Veritasium did a great video on this, butyou really have to try it for yourself to believe it! The metal and the book are honestlyat the same temperature as measured by a thermometer, but the metal FEELS colder.This isn't just a trick of the mind, though - we experien...
