You tell me, you're the one who thinks if you shine your flashlight at the sun, no light will come out.
Go outside, and point your flashlight at the sun. If no light comes out then sure enough, you're the physicist and I'm the guy whose degree in radiation engineering left me believing if I point my flashlight at the sun, some light will come out, when it won't.
And that when the ground heats up, no infrared energy will come out of it as long as the sun is in that direction.
An engineer...of any discipline would never eve propose such a stupid experiment and expect it to mean anything. Even the most fleeting though on the topic would tell you thant is is meaningless. Tell me allen...in watts per square meter, how much energy from the sun is reaching the ground? Now, consider the temperature of the filament in a flashlight bulb...it is somewhere between 2700 and 3700 degrees kelvin. that means the temperature of that filament is going to be something between 4500 degrees and 6200 degrees Fahrenheit. Now, since you claim to be an engineer, what is the output in watts per square meter for an element at a temperature of say 5000 degrees? Now compare the output of the flashlight to the power of the incoming solar radiation. See where this is going?
Of course, that energy from the flashlight would never actually reach the sun, but it is easily enough to emit through the incoming radiation from the sun.
Again, no engineer, of any sort would have asked such a stupid assed question and thought that it would inivalidate the second law of thermodynamics.
Of course, that energy from the flashlight would never actually reach the sun, but it is easily enough to emit through the incoming radiation from the sun.
The filament is hot enough to "overcome the power of the incoming sunlight"?
Incoming sunlight is how many watts per meter? A filament at 5000 degrees is radiatinig how many watts per meter?
Hey.
GO POINT your RED L.E.D. flashlight, at the SUN again, and come back and TELL us if it comes on in the daytime.
Take your cat outside and see if it's true that indeed, no heat leaves him headed toward the sun. It can't, because
CooLieTons, can't go toward things giving off
HoTTieToNS.
Yeah. Absolutely.
What if I point my infared laser toward the sun, will any light come out of the end of it?
The sun and nearly all it's light is way hotter than my laser, what happens to the laser light?
Does it just go toward the sun a little bit then veer off? LoL. It's lazed, it can't veer anywhere.
Does it go toward the sun then just stop in space, like the f**kin' Matrix?
Just hovering there like a hot chick in leather who's gonna kick the sun's ass,
but just not ever get any closer, because HoddiePhoties won't let CooliePHoties come near em?
"Dont come toward me!! EWww!! git BACK CooLie-Pho-Tie-Tons, I'm tellin the second Law!
I'm uh drizzlin HoTTieToNS, yew cain't tuche this!"
