This was later explained by the idea of waves of light. Later Franklin did experiments with the conservation of heat and performed many experiments to explain how heat was distributed depending on the conditions and surrounding objects of the fire. Franklin did not have any major contributions to the theory of heat in a specific area of differential thermal conduction....
