The Earth is not a closed system. And we are not talking about heat flow, but radiation. Everything radiates if it is not at absolute zero. And a photon from a body does not care if it intercepts a warmer body than the one that emitted that photon. So, yes, radiation from a cooler body can add energy to a warmer body.
"So, yes, radiation from a cooler body can add energy to a warmer body." DAFUQ??? Space at absolute zero is heating things? really?? on what planet?
Space at absolute zero is heating things?
Matter at absolute zero does not radiate.
Rigggggggggggggggggght, so the space touching the hull at -450F will warm the ship. What a comfort
