Changing your story?
An object radiating away at 200K doen't suddenly stop radiating if a 300 K object is placed nearby?
Of course I'm not...you are the only one changing my position. Maybe I should have tried to draw you a better picture...clearly you are locked so tight in your box that actual thinking isn't possible for you...Maybe I should have specified contact between the objects...after all, in climate science we are talking about an atmosphere that is in contact with the ground....As to the two objects with a 100K temperature difference...perhaps the radiation begins to move in the direction of the warmer object...but like the electrons...it never makes it to the object. The energy transfer is one way.
Look...I didn't write the law...I am not trying to interpret the law...I simply accept the law and my argument is based on the law as it is written. It is you who has a problem with a physical law and it is a problem that you will never overcome. Energy moves in one direction no matter how hard you try to make it go both ways.
potential will be added or subtracted, depending on the circuit, to give you net current.
Just as SB will show you net energy loss or gain.
Electrons are moving in one direction down that wire...not both ways. Maybe the EM field adds or subtracts and ends with the energy moving, albeit diminished in the direction of the cooler object. I couldn't say. What I can say, and the law backs me up is that the energy is moving in only one direction. If it were in two directions the equations would be written in a way that describes two way movement.
