Text 3. Thermal (heat) energy transfers
Heat, like gravity, penetrates every substance of the universe; its rays
occupy all parts of space. The object of our work is to set forth the
mathematical laws which this element obeys. The theory of heat will
hereafter form one of the most important branches of general
physics. Baron Jean-Baptiste-Joseph Fourier
