I imagine once the issues of shorting out the computer is fixed by sealing everything... why not use mercury... other then if it gets into your blood stream in any way... it is pretty safe... would it have a higher heat capacity?

Now higher heat capacity means it can absorb more heat or does it mean it can transfer heat better?
