Remember that ALL metals expand when heated but they expand...

Almost everything expands when heated.  That includes all subject
material which greatly expands during a heated debate.

However, Invar (a nickel-iron alloy) doesn't expand when heated:
"Some Alloys Don't Change Size When Heated. We Now Know Why."
<https://www.caltech.edu/about/news/some-alloys-dont-change-size-when-heated-we-now-know-why>
"Thermal expansion occurs because a material's atoms vibrate more as
its temperature increases. The more its atoms vibrate, the more they
push away from their neighboring atoms. As the space between the atoms
increases, the density of the material decreases and its overall size
increases."

I wonder if vibranium or reverbium expand when heated?

I also suspect that metal coins shrink in my pocket because when I
spend the coins, they always seem to buy less than when I previously
spent them.
