I suppose, I was imagining it more like the wind carrying a whisper
but it is a material transfer. How would a signal travel in the heat
source if we varied the water flow?

Rather like an electrical signal I guess, maybe it could be used as
part of a thermal circuit.

Well the rate of propagation of a scent is actually pretty impressive
I think, compared to the rate of conduction of heat. Interesting. Nice
contribution. I agree that the informational problem is not coherent,
but this only adds to the criticism of the interpretation of heat as
vibrating atoms. You are the first that I have seen to accept this
criticism. I hope I am not stuffing words in your mouth.

You use the word 'organized' yet would we call white noise organized?
Here there has to be a stronger characterization I think. Even if we
put 100 small white noise sources up to a bar of steel we may still
possibly measure the 101st's rate of propagation so long as it comes
alone after the others are established, and we have a sufficient power
measuring device. Then too, we'll be heating the bar with our sound
devices won't we...

I think this recognition that heat is actually open to
reinterpretation should be placed alongside the mysteries of mass that
we see in present day. If anything this should be good news to the
string theorist types, but instead they fit their theory in beneath
existing physics.

From the informational perspective we can use heat to signal, and its
low pass effect can be helpful for some signal processing. As a delay
line this is kind of sweet. So for instance a piece of steel wire and
a piece of copper wire terminated with thermocouples would show unique
signals even when applied to the same variable heat source. Varying
their length should alter the filtering mechanism. In terms of duty
cycle measurements or power measure these should be fine. Some of the
best electrical RMS measuring devices use heat measurement don't
they?

Unlike other signalling mechanisms the maximum usable frequency of a
heat conducted signal varies inversely with distance.

I accept any rational critism but your critism of physics seems
unfounded since you seem to be ignorant of it. Scent is distributed by
Brownian Motion.

Yes, you are leaning on the gas form to make your way. And it takes
just a tiny bit of scent vapor in the air to be detected. I suppose we
could go on to challenge adiabatic type behaviors, but I'd just as
soon stick to the solid form. The gas form is much more challenging.
Place a gas in outer space and baboom! it distributes itself out.
Place a solid in outer space and it just sits there, solid as ever.

Will you extend your claim of Brownian motion onto the solid?

I'm not so sure that diffusion and brownian motion are exactly the
same as you are claiming. Here is a statement:
'Brownian motion is observed in molecules that are so large that
they are not driven by their own thermal energy but by collisions with
solvent particles.'
- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffusion
I'll admit the difference is subtle and they are closely related.

Diffusion does not require any temperature difference as I've
attempted to discuss. Your bottle of scent can be the same temperature
as the air it is in. Still, I do think that the example is a nice
addition to the conversation. Yes, when you open it it may cool a bit
as the scent evaporates. This is very complicated stuff and I believe
that the solid example is a more simplified environment to puzzle
over.
