so they radiate to infinity?So, let's take this analogy and, lets say in the room the temperature is 68 F, what is the temperature of the wall absorbing, reflecting and re-emmiting the radiated waves? So when you point the infrared meter at it, what will it read? And if the wall is emitting IR back into the room, does the room get warmer?
Objects at the same temperature radiate equal amounts to each other. The net flow of energy is zero.
I know. He has said that they simply stop radiating.
