Hypothesis: Heat Transfer and Elementary Carriers of Heat Energy

Abstract

Energy is one of the basic concepts of natural science and is inextricably linked with the idea of the transformation of one form of motion of matter into another. In turn, technological advances encourage science to make new discoveries that make it possible to use all types of energy efficiently: master the energy of the subsoil, the sun’s rays, tides, sea waves, control thermonuclear energy, etc. All this requires fundamental knowledge of the mechanism of energy transfer. Currently, it is argued that the “phlogiston theory” is over, but in a hidden form it is widely used in practice to explain the heat transfer as Fourier’s equation:
