Describe the ways how
thermal energy can be
transferred?
Some scientists think that, billions of
years in the future, all the thermal
energy in the universe will have
dissipated. At t h at time, everything in
the universe will be a t the same low
temperature and no more energy
changes or transfers will be possible.
