When you apply heat to gas molecules they begin to move faster 
dont they? This would indicate that the viscosity decreases as
a result of the increased movement. Cooling a gas or any molecule
for that matter will slow the molecule movements down. This is
the point of absolute zero basically.. a temperate where no
reactions occur. If you are correct, then how does heating a 
gas decrease the movement of the gas or energy basically, when
you are removing energy from the gas by cooling it per your
hypothesis.
