		Thermal radiation is a direct result of the movements of atoms and moleculesin a material.
		Since these atoms and molecules are composed of charged particles (protons and electrons), their movements result in the emission ofelectromagnetic radiation, which carries energyaway from the surface.

		Description Thermal energy is quantified by temperature (e.g., the physical property of a system which underlies the common notions of "hot" and "cold"; material with the higher temperatures are said to be "hot").
		Heat is to thermal energy as workEnergy, generally and qualitatively speaking, is the property (or the quantity of the property) of changing the state of a system or doing work.

	Backreaction: Disambiguation
		Stating the initial configuration was 'random' isn't the same as saying it was in thermal equilibrium.
		Thermal equilibrium is a distribution that is favoured if a configuration had time to equilibrate - then it doesn't matter what initial configuration you start with.
		That doesn't mean though the initial configuration should have been thermal equilibrium.

	Temperature - Wikipedia
		Temperature is the physical property of a system, which governs the transfer of thermal energy, or heat, between that system and other systems.
		The temperature 0 K is called Absolute zero and corresponds to the point at which the molecules and atoms have the least possible thermal energy.
		When two systems of differing temperature are placed in thermal contact, the temperature of the hotter system decreases, indicating that heat is leaving that system, while the cooler system is gaining heat and increasing in temperature.

	Diffusion
		In each, a flux (of atoms or energy or electrons) is equal to a physical property (diffusivity or thermal conductivity or electrical conductivity) multiplied by a gradient (concentration gradient or thermal gradient or electric field).
		In each case, there is only a noticeable diffusion if there is a gradient: for example in thermal diffusion, if the temperature is constant, heat will move as quickly in one direction as in the other, producing no change.
		\nWhen heat travels through a material with a thermal gradient (for example, heat traveling through the wall of a coffee mug), the rate of transport is governed by the thermal conductivity and the temperature gradient.

	Population inversion - Wikipedia
		If the group of atoms are in thermal equilibrium, it can be shown from thermodynamics that the ratio of the number of atoms in each state is given by a Boltzmann distribution:
		When in thermal equilibrium, then, it is seen that the lower energy state is usually more populated than the upper energy state, and this is the normal state of the system.
		Initially, the system of atoms is at thermal equilibrium, and the majority of the atoms will be in the ground state, i.e.

	Entropy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		For example, consider a gas enclosed in a piston chamber whose walls are perfect thermal insulators.
		It has been speculated that the universe is fated to a heat death in which all the energy ends up as a homogeneous distribution of thermal energy, so that no more work can be extracted from any source.
		If the universe can be considered to have increasing entropy, then, as Roger Penrose has pointed out, an important role in the disordering process is played by gravity, which causes dispersed matter to accumulate into stars, which collapse eventually into fl holes.
