Negative Temperature
In physics, negative temperature means more energy than equilibrium—in the attention economy, you're burning hotter than baseline, and the platform is feeding the fire.

physics
Planck's Law
Every emission has a cost, every observation changes what's observed, and in the attention economy, you are the black body radiating data.
physics
Black Body Radiation
You absorb everything, emit everything, and the temperature of your attention economy is rising.
physics
Wien's Law
The hotter something burns, the bluer its light—and the platforms know exactly what temperature keeps you scrolling.
physics
Stefan-Boltzmann Law
Every surface radiates energy proportional to the fourth power of its temperature—and so do you, broadcasting your attention across the digital void.
physics
Radiation
Every interaction you have online emits something into the void—and unlike light, this radiation never stops traveling.
physics
Convection
Heat rises, carrying everything with it—including your data, your attention, and the invisible currents that shape what you see.
physics
Conduction
Heat moves through contact, through touch, through the places where one thing meets another—and so does your data.
physics
Thermal Expansion
Everything grows when heated—metals, gases, your digital footprint under the heat of constant surveillance.
physics
Osmosis
How your attention moves through membranes you never agreed to cross, following gradients you didn't create.
