      Well, heat just spread over a larger area but it doesn’t get destroyer nor turn into any other form of energy.

      But it doesn’t die per se.

        If you consider particle excitement to be the definition of heat and subparticle fields to be different forms of energy then it does actually change, but that’s just semantics.

        If all discernable heat is unobservable and unobtainable, then semantics don’t matter. Everything still dies. I’d include “heat” in that mix, but that’s waxing philosophical
