The kinetic theory is more accepted. The caloric theory has been disproven because heat is not a fluid, and there can never be more caloric in an object than there already is. For example, in the "Boring" experiment, there wouldn't be enough caloric inside the borer to heat it up enough for the water to actually reach a boiling point.

If heat were to be a fluid, would it have mass? (Does energy have any mass?)
I think energy can be measured in certain types, but I don;t think it can be measured in mass.
Energy cannot be measured in mass but can be measured in volume.
How can energy be measured in volume?
