Merged Does CERN prove Einstein wrong?

And how is that equilibrium affect by changes in absorptivity -- even perhaps very small changes?

And as a bonus question: How sensitive are optical assemblies to even small distortions occurring from even very small out-of-tolerance thermal gradients?

Calculations are needed for that. The article mentioned a computer model or something like that. This should be repeated by independent researchers to check if those claims hold.
 
Only people in positions of power are a threat to the international bankers. People posting speculative conspiracy theories on the Internet are no threat to them.

Am I in a position of power?

I'm one of the people that you say Kennedy was killed to frighten. I'm one of those "scientists" you say has to keep his mouth shut about the hoaxed Apollo missions.

So I ask again. Are you calling me a liar?
 
When photons travel through empty space, space is not heated up. It's only when the photons hit objects that heat is generated.

Partial credit for this answer. Heat is generated when the photons are ABSORBED by materials.

So what's the absorptance for the glass used in the Lunar Retroreflector packages?

Only people in positions of power are a threat. And not all people in positions of power are a threat. Only those who have direct evidence of a conspiracy. So if you are in a position of power AND you have direct evidence, DON't post that information on the Internet or publish it in other media. :D
 
No, the heating up can't be a linear process. After a while an equilibrium is reached where the object is absorbing and transmitting radiation at the same rate.

Which you claimed earlier (and in posts following this one) is impossible.

So which is it? Can or can not an object transmit heat through a vacuum?

Really? Please explain radiative heat then.


I know poking anders with a stick seems fun, but "radiative heat" is explained quite well by his post above and by my response comment upthread.

Oh, I see. It's circular. Only those who are a threat are a threat.
 
That's not what I asked. I'm a scientist and an engineer. You claim I and other such people know the Moon landings were faked, but I'm being coerced into saying the opposite.

Are you calling me a liar? Yes or no.

If I may;

JU is a scientist and engineer with the education, training, expertise and experience to easily discern whether or not the Apollo missions were hoaxed, as opposed to those people who do not have similar education, training, expertise and experience.

Anders states that people with such a background should not inform others of the Apollo hoax even though they would understand that this was so.
Thus Anders would be admitting that JU knows that the Apollo missions are hoaxes.

JU states unequivocably that the Apollo missions were not hoaxes.

So, is Anders calling JU a liar, or not?

I'm not calling anyone posting on forums liars. That would be stupid. People could be lying or not lying. A 12 year old girl could claim to be a NASA scientist on the Internet, lol.
 
Yes, really. Empty space is not heated up.

The problem is that you think we don't know this. The reason "empty space" is not heated up is that no photons are absorbed.

So what's the IR absorptance of a piece of "glass" specifically chosen for low thermal response? What's the emittance?
