Abstract
The existing concepts for the universal low temperature properties of glasses are used to calculate the contribution of supposed localized centers in the surface of solids to the heat transfer into adjacient helium. With a similar coupling constant and density of states as in bulk glass, the mechanism can account for the strength and the experimental features of the "anomalous Kapitza conductance" which is universal for all but the most perfect surfaces.
