@GibbsHelmholtz I guess it's fair to share what I believed. I believe that heat and radiation are two separate thing. If one considers heat is momentum, then light is kinetic energy or the rate of momentum change. Of course this concludes the equation as
light + heat = V^2/R + I^2R Hmm, I think I like this and of course I would agree heat and radiation are two separate things. @All An object at 20 Degrees C in an environment at the same temperature does not radiate anything but still has heat thus it should be obvious to even a child that heat and radiation are not the same thing. As well when we consider heat we should look to nature for answers, for instance supposedly the Sun is hot and this heat from the Sun is transferred to our little planet--- so why is all the space between the Earth and Sun so damn cold?(−270 °C). This is because people confuse things with measures of things, heat is not something it is a measure of something and this measure is relative. The Sun cannot conduct heat when there is nothing to conduct through such as the near perfect vacuum of space therefore the sun transfers energy in the form of radiation which has no "heat" as heat is solely a property of matter not empty space which is why space is cold. As well we could apply this same thought to Voltage and Current and personally I find it absolutely mindboggling how some people refer to voltage and current as if they were something tangible. Voltage is the difference in charge density between two regions, Voltage is a measure of the difference and a measure of something is not tangible ---- it is a measure. Then we have Current and people tell me there is current flowing in their wires  , well no there is no current flowing as an electrical current is a measure of the motion of the charges in, on and around the wires and it is the charges that are moving not a current. Current is a measure of the motion of charges and measures are not tangible things, the charges are tangible and can be measured in a relative sense. It is no wonder that nobody can seem to understand anything when most textbooks would have us to believe in things that have no substance to them. As well I would question the level of understanding of anyone who tells us "things are the same" or "things are not different" when it should be obvious that if they have different names and different properties then they are different. Generalizing or marginalizing everything is not a very smart proposition in my opinion because I have found the devil is in the details, it is having an intimate understanding of things to such an extent that we understand the limitations in our understanding of things and then we learn new things.
