Kinetic Theory is the aspect of physics that relates the
temperature, pressure and volume taken up by a substance.
It is not really inherent that you need to know this,
unless you are doing Higher Grade Physics or equivalent,
or unless you want to become an elite arsonist ;)~

The theory also answers some questions of everyday life,
such as "Why have I gotta wrap up this matchhead-filled
tennis ball with industrial strength duct tape?", and
also can help you make your creations more effecient in
energy output.

This article will look at the Kinetic Theory in general,
and also some practical uses, and will also explain some
of the unknown things in the universe, and lead to world
peace and T3 lines to every home in the planet. (Last 2

to hit, so just continue flying around. Because the
molecules are flying around at high speeds, the space
between each of the molecules are very large, and the
gas takes up more volume. The gap in the molecules in the
gas explain why air rises, because the air is less dense,
the same amount of gas takes up more volume.

You should know quite well that temperature is measured
in degrees celcius, or degrees Fahrenheit in the US. This
is fine, the scale starts at 0 as the freezing temperature
of water, and 100 being the boilng point. But for workin
with kinetics, we need to use a new scale, called the
Kelvin. This starts at 0 as being the point at where all
the energy in the molecule is gone. This is -275 degrees
celcius. As 0 Kelvin is the point of no energy for a
molecule, there are no negative values, and hence nothing
in this, and any other universe is colder.

The reason why we need to go through all the trouble of
inventing and using a new temperature scale is because
to use Kinetic Theory for anything useful in physics, we
need to use temperature as the average energy in each
molecule, which is what kelvin is.

I think I have written enough for this part of the article,
it has taken me just over an hour to do, and I don't want
to bore you much longer, I'll quit now and explain the
relationships of pressure, temperature and volume, in the
form of equations for next month. Until then, happy
figuring-out-why-shit-blows-louder-when-wrapped-up! :)
