And I have a COLD HOSE for you.

Wrong.  HEAT, by definition, is the kinetic energy of a molecule.  RADIATION 
is a method by which heat is transferred without contact or immersion in a 
fluid (example: the sun heats the earth via radiation).  Other methods of 
transferral of heat are CONVECTION (fluid movement) and CONDUCTION (surfaces 
in contact).  In fact, the heat added to your lap by your laptop is NOT 
radiation, by definition; it is conduction.
