Of course they will. My hands will cool whether we touch or not.

But it is not cold that my hands absorb. There is no such thing as cold. It is the cold radiation from your hands which will cool mine.

But it is obvious to me now that you are taking sides against me. But tell me which of the two choices you believe is correct.
