Can humans really feel temperature?

The video explores the concept of temperature as the jiggling of atoms and molecules. It explains why metal feels colder than a book despite being at the same temperature, due to metal's ability to conduct heat away from our skin faster. The video also discusses how our perception of temperature is based on the rate of energy transfer to or from our skin, not the actual temperature of objects. It highlights the difference between high temperature and the sensation of hotness, using examples like steam and hot air to illustrate energy transfer.
