While they were wondering what kind of psycho would do such a thing I was reminded of your friend "Numan" who said if he knew how he would like to create a bio-weapon that could sterilize most people who he considers beneath his "erudite" demi-God status.
And you dare to complain that people lie about you, when you tell such lies about me and about other people. You pathetic hypocrite.
Let's pick the nearest red star, Betelgeuse which is "only" about 640 light years from us and the nearest star our sun which is far from being a "blue star". Yet even the sun's outer mantle is almost all hydrogen in a plasma state. That means there are no electrons in a ground state that could possibly absorb any photons from a cooler red star.
"In a plasma state" means the gas is ionized; "in a ground state" means the gas is
not ionized!! Which is it, you incoherent nincompoop!!!?
Heaven defend us from conceited technicians who imagine that they understand physics!! I am reminded of Mickey Mouse as the sorcerer's apprentice!! What an intellectual shambles!!
You're assuming ground state absorption is the only way for photons to be absorbed....
However we know it happens because ... conservation of energy. The energy of the photons has to go somewhere. It can't just vanish.
Oh, thank you, Mamooth, for some words of sense amidst the reams of rubbish these global heating Denialists spew forth!!
Yes, plasma consists of free, electically charged ions -- which means that they easily absorb energy from electromagnetic waves -- much more easily than if they were bound in electically neutral atoms!! That is what happens in a radio antenna, where electrons, because of Fermi-Dirac quantum mechanical effects, are free to absorb radio waves which are much, much longer than the electron particle size!! The tiny electrons absorb the energy by moving back-and-forth along relatively long distances in the antenna!!
The same thing happens in the plasma of a star! If the radio wave were not absorbed and then scattered by some particle -- then it would absurdly and magically pass through the entire mass and bulk of the star, for all the world like a neutrino passing through 40 light-years of lead!!
The most charitable interpretation I can imagine is that our frozen arctoid-brain Denialist has some confused and garbled memory of the Compton Scattering Effect which he mis-remembers from an introductory freshman physics class. Basically, an electron absorbing a photon experiences elastic re-coil and scatters a photon of
a longer wave-length. That obviously
must be so, since by re-coiling, the electron has taken energy away from whatever light-wave is scattered.
Must I belabor the point that, since the electron has absorbed energy in the scattering transaction, the material of which it is a part is therefore
"hotter"?
Perhaps it will help the mentally challenged if I quote the final sentence of the Encyclopaedia Britannica article on the "Compton effect."
The increase in wavelength, or Compton shift, does not depend on the wavelength of the incident photon.
