and the kelvin scale is named after some dude by the name of james j... - scale. - ...scale, you got it. you got it, all right. so we have those kinds of ways of measuring temperature, the average kinetic energy per molecule of things. here's a nice distinction between temperature and internal energy, or, loosely speaking, heat content. this used to bother me when i was a kid. you know those 4th of july sparklers? you light them and they-- [makes noise] --and all those white hot sparks going out. and do you know whathe temperature of those sparks are? -- more than 1,000 degrees celsius, more than 1,000 degrees. is that hot or cold? - hot. - cold.
