Oh my, Mr. Westwall has joined SSDD and jc in claiming smart photons. Oh well, what is one to expect in that case?Where in the expression of entropy does it say that radiation is only a one-way flow of EM energy or radiation exchange is not possible. There is no scientific publication that gives entropy that caveat. The thermodynamic expression of entropy does not indicate in any way how energy flows, it simply means the state of "randomness" increases.Of course it is an interpretation..but it still doesn't get energy moving spontaneously from cool to warm...and back radiation simply doesn't happen no matter how much you wish it did....and the greenhouse hypothesis is bullshit...That is not an interpretation. That comes from the definition of entropy.
The flow of energy is one way. From heat (order) to cold (randomness). Your understanding of entropy is very.........inaccurate.
"If a glass of hot liquid, for example, as shown in Figure 3, is placed in a colder room a potential exists and a flow of heat is spontaneously produced from the cup to the room until it is minimized (or the entropy is maximized) at which point the temperatures are the same and all flows stop."
