Why in this article is there no discussion of the contributions of Carl Gauss? Bearian 01:09, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
I have also removed the post "he hypothesis that heat is a form of motion was initially proposed in the 13th century, by the medieval Arabic physicist ʻAbd Allah Baydawi" The source you listed for that doesn't make that claim. Baydawi is not a scientist, he's just a theologian and he is making commentary on Aristotelian ideas on heat. All he says is that heat is caused by a change in motion of objects, such as rocks or any other macroscopic object. Lastly, Baydawi, is actually objecting to the idea of "motion-change" causing heat, hence his mention about celestial objects in the paragraph after and why their movement doesn't cause them to gain heat. This is hardly what were talking about when we speak of heat as a form of motion, that is about particle movement caused by heat You just seem hell bent on in cluttering this page with irrelevant and in this case untrue facts don't you.

The name "History of heat" for this article is quite bizarre. It sounds like it would tell us that, according to Homer, the world was quite cold and damp until the Greek general Thermos and his soldiers founded heat in 1253 BCE in central Italy, after the end of the Trojan war; and how heat eventually developed into a major Fiery Empire that burned half of Europe, reaching its maximum temperature under the Second Phlogiston Dynasty, before being quenched by the hordes of Adiabat the Hvac.
Seriously, please turn this article into an "Antiquity and Middle Ages" section of
History of thermodynamics, or rename it "History of heat technology". (It would be okay to leave a redirect from "history of heat", of course.)

{{expert|reason=As the invention of heat by hominids clearly laid the cornerstone to global warming, this article fails to convince on merits though.}}
