Lomonosov's theory of thermal conductivity

Lomonosov's theory of thermal conductivity suggests that heat is transferred through materials via tiny particles or molecules that collide and pass energy to each other. Think of it as a chain reaction where heat moves from hot to cold regions through a series of interactions, much like a line of bouncing balls transmitting energy. He proposed that this transfer depends on how easily these particles can move and collide within the material. This idea helped explain how different substances conduct heat at varying rates, laying groundwork for understanding heat transfer in solids and fluids.
