That's because there is no proof in science. Idiot.
Proof is through evidence. Idiot.
Yes, that is why Dawlish thinks cold radiation does not exist. He ignores the evidence
Evans, J., and B. Popp. "Pictet's Experiment: The Apparent Radiation and Reflection of Cold." American Journal of Physics 53, no. 8 (1985): 737-53. http://www2.ups.edu/faculty/jcevans/...experiment.pdf
He must be working on the theory that heat radiates while cold sucks.
If he moves his hand towards a heat source, he feels the warmth before
making contact. That, he assumes, is the heat radiating towards him, not
his hand sucking in the heat.
If he moves his hand towards a cold source, he feels the chill before

hand, not the cold radiating towards him.
What he assumes means that heat radiates towards cold whereas cold sucks.
Such a theory implies that if you place a warm and cool object together,
the warm object will always be the active partner in changing the
temperature of the cool one. So, when you place a block of dry ice in a
warm room, the fog will not drift outwards towards the heat.
Fortunately, it is 7° today and temporarily sunny. If it were minus 7,
than that really would suck.
