Title: Do You Think----------

if we all turned our heat on high and opened all our doors and windows, we could warm up the world a bit?

Something to think about, Wilma, and the utility companies would reap a benefit, chuckle.

When one is outside in what seems extreme and unbearable cold and then walks into a heated building the sudden warmth really feels good.

I have often wondered about this.

Absolute zero is around -476 degrees F. That temperature is supposedly the coldest anything can ever get.

So, if one were outside with the temperature being at absolute zero and was able to survive--if that person would walk into a building that was at -176 F, would that result in that person being hit with a heat flash because the inside of this building was 300 degrees hotter?
