Any of the three ways that heat can go through a vacuum flask or thermos is not possible. The inner bottle's silver coating and the vacuum between its two walls prevent heat from transferring by radiation or convection, respectively. The glass walls' thinness prevents heat from conductionally entering or exiting the flask. Additional insulation is provided by the casing that the flask is enclosed in.
