I need to point something very important in this otherwise very well written article. The author keeps mentioning that heat is the kinetic energy of the jiggling molecules. This is not true by any stretch. This is the Boltzmann energy aka internal energy and NOT heat. Gases, liquids and solids do NOT have heat. They have internal energy. The transferring of momentum and kinetic energy via the intra-molecular collisions is heat
