LOL. Ol' Bent fantasizing new physical laws, and the most ignorant person on this board creating the hallalueh chorus.
And you understand nothing of any of it...

The earth does not emit its own light, it does however give off heat
I am OK with treating the atmosphere as matter. the same question you dodged before is still pertinent. where do the photons 'cancel out'?
I have already told you half a dozen times and done the math, in public, on the board Ian. I doubt that telling you again is going to matter. Till you grasp the concept of wave - particle duality and fully understand that phenomena like destructive interference only make sense when the EM field is thought of in terms of waves rather than particles, you are going to be wrong. There is no way around it. You are stuck on photons being free agents zipping about the universe and that simply is not true. If it were, then wave - particle duality would not be a subject of study. You are stuck inside a little box and till you figure a way to wrap your mind around the topic rather than being imprisoned by it, you are just stuck. I have explained it in every way that I can think of and I believe it isn't that you can't get it but that you won't get it because to understand is to admit that you were mistaken and for some reason, you don't seem to be willing to face that possibility.
you already said that the CO2 molecules dont interact with the 'EM field'. so why dont you describe what is happening and where?
Because Ian, (and I am embarassed for you in that I even have to answer the question) the CO2 molecule is not part of the EM field. The photon it emits is the EM field emitted by the CO2 molecule. The EM field it emits (1 photon, sometimes) is the extent of its EM field and it is your claim that that EM field emitted by a single CO2 molecule consisting of one photon can "overcome" the EM field radiated by the surface of the earth and send that single photon upstream against that massive EM field radiated by the earth and actually reach the earth where it is absorbed. Really?
wirebender doesnt so much invent new laws, he just applies them in the wrong situations and makes conclusions that are incorrect.[/qipte]
And yet, you remain unable to describe how I have misapplied any physical law at all.
secondly, wirebender confuses the meaning of the term 'field'. a light bulb (or star or CO2 molecule) radiating real photons in every direction is fundementally different than a magnetic/electric field that has no specific shape and uses virtual photons to possibly carry force if it encounters a charged particle that it can interact with. a concrete example is a power line.
So now you are denying the existence of vectors as associated by EM fields and also denying the existence of a direction of propagation? You have already indicated your belief that energy can flow in two directions along any given vector so I won't even go there again, but now you seem to be denying the existence of vectors altogether. Interesting, which physics text led you to believe this?
still ducking,eh? you even admitted that you know where your 'math' is located. you wrote it once and have dared people to check it probably 50 times but you are unwilling to produce it. sounds just llike a climate science 'trick' to hide bullshit out of reach.[/qipte]
I am not going to do your search for you Ian. I went back, read the conversation, and you were right there in the middle of it and had no comment at all regarding either the math or the physical laws being discussed. Nothing you have said since leads me to believe that you would have any comment now. You want it, go back and find it.
photons, once created, continue in a straight line until they interact with matter. where does the CO2 photon 'disappear?
Photons are quanta of EM fields. When a field is reduced in magnitude, it is because it has lost energy. If the smallest measurable bit of energy that the field is made of is the photon, then clearly, Ian, the field is losing photons. See wave particle duality. See destructive interference. See wave cancelation. You are wrong and your stubborn resistance to being wrong has pegged you at zero on my respect o meter, never mind that you have sunk so low that you are now snuggling up to rocks for your sugar. F'ing pathetic Ian.

bummer that the gif doesnt work. Superposition of Waves third illustration
first off, photons do not annihilate each other. they can add and subtract their waveforms depending on where you are measuring but once they pass each other they revert to exactly as they were.
secondly, wirebender confuses the meaning of the term 'field'. a light bulb (or star or CO2 molecule) radiating real photons in every direction is fundementally different than a magnetic/electric field that has no specific shape and uses virtual photons to possibly carry force if it encounters a charged particle that it can interact with. a concrete example is a power line. it is surrounded by a field but there is no necessary energy flow away. but if you put an induction circuit in the field you can steal part of the power flowing through the wire. the field and its vitual photons are always there but nothing happens unless you interact with the field and the photons become real by actually transfering energy. wirebender has confused this type of field with the radiation of IR from the earth that is already complete and needs no further interaction.
gslack's last comment is so retarded that needed level of remedial instruction would be overwhelmingly boring. eg-
The earth does not emit its own light, it does however give off heat
where do you even start?

unlike some people here I judge a statement or idea on its merits, not by who said it.
I seem to recall you stating that the 'EM field' of the earth populated the infinity of vectors from an infinity of points with real photons. this is patently absurd because it would take an infinite amount of energy. in a magnetic/electric field this would be possible because the photons are virtual and do not transfer any energy until they actually interact will a particle with the ability to accept the energy.
please cite a source that says photons are extiguished when in an interference pattern rather than it just being an artifact of measurement at a specific location. all physics references I have seen or been taught consider interference a local effect with the photons unchanged except for possible interaction by being measured (by matter)

do you understand that passing energy in a field is fundementally different than radiating energy away?

Not gonna answer again huh coward??? yeah called that one didn't I....
When you grow a spine I will treat you respectfully again, until then you are kornholev's slightly older, slightly less impaired brother..

I should probably just ignore you because, really, you just dont bring much to the table, do you? what would be the point of answering your simplistic questions?
ask me something of substance and I may reconsider.
Watch out for his vig links there, old boy.
wirebender- please define what you mean by the earth's IR EM field.
does it have the intensity to fill every available vector at the rate that would preclude any possibility of a photon from atmospheric CO2 reaching the surface of the planet at the speed of light (you can set a minimum height if you wish).
once the opposing photons are created, what mechanism causes them to cease to exist and where does the energy go?
