Best Answer

Heat is energy (of motion), this can 'travel' from 'warm to cold'.

Cold is a temperature (absolute or relative to surroundings with higher temperature) and can NOT travel.

Temperature is a property of matter, it is not (a kind of) energy.

(The same is with 'warmth')

Hot and Cold are words describing entities, they cannot go "fast" themselves.

Absolute zero is when all energy is diffused, and there is a state of complete rest. Though at the quantum level, not all motion is stopped.

The superlative of heat would most routinely be found in a star. In which some particles are streaming out at the speed of light.

If one stretches things then, one could say that a situation in which there is great heat, will produce faster entities than situations where there is great cold.

Heat does. It has more kinetic energy, also called the Energy of Motion.

heat This is a trick question as cold doesn't exist as its own entity. There is only heat in varying degrees.

Cold is lack of heat. It's like asking when the tide goes out, which is faster, the sea or the lack of sea.
