Things you believed as a kid

[Trixie]

I used to think that hot and cold were two different types of energy. I wondered what would happen if two beams of energy, one hot energy and one cold, hit eachother? For some reason, when I learned that hot and cold air together caused storms, I thought that hot energy and cold energy together made explosions. I was a stupid kid.

Well I mean you're only kind of wrong. Heat is a form of energy. This is why burns continue to damage skin even when the source of the damage is extinguished or cold is applied. The energy has already been released. It's pretty much the only injury where EMS will want you to have attempted some sort of aid before they arrive, because if you don't the burn ends up getting worse.
