    According to the laws of physics, what we consider cold is in reality the absence of heat. Everybody and every object is susceptible to study when it has or transmits energy, and heat is what makes a body or matter have or transmit energy. Absolute zero (- 460 degrees F) is the total absence of heat; all matter becomes inert and incapable of reaction at that temperature. Cold does not exist. We have created this word to describe how we feel if we have too little heat.

    When asked if cold exists....

    The young man replied, "In fact, sir, cold does not exist. According to the laws of physics, what we consider cold is, in reality, the absence of heat. Everybody or object is susceptible to study when it has or transmits energy. Absolute zero (-460 degrees F) is the total absence of heat. All matter becomes inert and incapable of reaction at that temperature. Cold does not exist. We have created this word to describe

    how we feel if we have no heat."

    The young man's name -- Albert Einstein

    But then again...you could say cold is in fact a basic state that exists everywhere until heat is introduced. Empty space is cold until it is warmed by nearby objects reflecting or radiating heat. Cold is a constant and heat the variant. Maybe the universe as we know it was inert until something happened to create heat. The Big Bang? We only know the laws of the universe and matter as we experience it today.

    Cold is simply the absensce of heat or you could mean a cold as in medical terms were yes it does exist

    This is just a matter of semantics. You can get the answer to be either yes or no, depending on how you define "cold".

    Does a vacuum exist? Think carefully now... Hmm, I guess we also need to define "exist" ;-)

    you're needless to say insecure and are hoping white women are as jealous and passionate approximately you as you're of them. a good number of black people in recent times (no longer all nevertheless) have this fixation with white people's seems whilst white people do no longer think of roughly you as intensely in any respect. And lol @ y'all attempting to crap on women as an entire so which you will experience extra desirable. adult men are notoriously jealous creatures yet purely women folk are hated for this.

    cold is the absents of heat, just like dark is the absents of light. hate is the absents of love, we give names to things that do not exist in science., but we "know" they exist

    'Cold' if you are talking about weather is just a feeling. I would still like to know the answer anywayz.
