   A not-too-small black hole is about the only option, unless you are able to   
   transmit the heat via extra dimensions.   
      
   Or, to quote from an episode of _Quark_, "If you heat It, It will become hot!"   
      
   If heat goes into a thing, hotness happens. There can be a phase change from   
   solid to liquid and/or liquid to gas. Particles bounce around, things rotate   
   or vibrate. But heat just DOESN'T go away. If you can somehow move it to   
   another universe, or to a    
   heat sink in a remote cold location, great, problem solved, and there's a   
   Nobel prize waiting for you. Otherwise, if you dump lots of heat into a thing,   
   it will get hot. That's some of the most fundamental physics we've got.
