Feels colder, melts ice faster! Full Explanation of the black square demo.

How can something that feels colder melt ice faster? In this video I give a full explanation of how this is possible. The video shows a time-lapse of ice melting on a block that feels colder followed by an explanation of how it ties into thermal equilibrium, the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics, and insulators vs. conductors. The block that melts the ice faster is a conductor. Since heat flows more quickly through conductors, heat flows from the hotter conductor into the cooler ice melting it faster than the insulator. The reason the conductor feels colder is because heat more easily flows from your warmer finger into the cooler block. Since you lose heat faster to the conductor, it feels colder than the insulator. A thermal video at the end also shows heat flowing from the conductor into the ice to melt it faster, further reinforcing this concept.
