Why do things cool offdown?

What II've heard from books orand other materials is that the heat is nothing but athe sum of movementsthe movement of molecules. So, as you all know, one common myth breaker was like "Unlike in movies, you don't get frozen right away when you gotget thrown out to theinto space". 

But the thing whichthat bugs me is that things in the Universe,universe eventually cool off, and howdown. How is that possible, when there'sthere are no other things around, to which the molecules can transfer their heat?
