when something is an opposite, that usually means one of three things
absence: nothing is the opposite of everything
comparison: slow is the opposite of fast
opposition: good is the opposite of evil
which one is “hot vs. cold” in? coldness physically is just the absence of heat, but the sensation itself feels opposed. that said heat receptors and cold receptors can be activated at the same time which complicates things.
feel free to try and categorize opposites yourself
