Your loss.

To make such a statement is Bulveristic.

Did you know it's not really possible to be politically correct?

"Bulverism is a logical fallacy that combines a genetic fallacy with circular reasoning. The method of Bulverism is to "assume that your opponent is wrong, and explain his error". The Bulverist assumes a speaker's argument is invalid or false and then explains why the speaker came to make that mistake, attacking the speaker or the speaker's motive."

So an example is:

"Any two sides of a triangle are together greater than the third."
"Oh you say that because you are a man."

Or:

"You are a man therefore you say X."

This in itself doesn't support anyone's argument, but there is an implied "anything that you only say because you are a man must be false," or "if you say that because you are a man, that is false."

So:

1. You say X because you are a man.
2. Anything that you say because you are a man is false.
3. X is false.

Also, CS Lewis coined the term "Bulverism", and he didn't write Through the Looking Glass.

All I see is a fundamental inability to understand the basic principles of science coupled with utter conviction in his own infallibility.

Your "attempts to engage" are nothing more than condescending, bulveristic quips. Along those lines, you consider differing viewpoints, and science in general, as nothing more than "trollish comments."

Examples have been provided, you already acknowlege that air is not a body therefore it cannot be a black body. Why if you extract individual gases from air they become bodies I have no idea.

Also every description of Planks law I have read specifically mentions black bodies, if it's universally applicable why is that caveat there?

As I have written before, there is absolutely no reason to believe that gases radiate according to Planck's Law. Planck formulated his law to account for radiation specifically from black bodies; gases are not black bodies. It is also glaringly obvious to anyone with any knowledge at all of radiative physics that gases cannot possibly radiate according to Planck's Law. Spectroscopy, for example, depends on gases not radiating according to Planck's Law.

As I have also written before, your belief that gases radiate in this way is akin to a belief that pigs are capable of flying. I cannot give you any examples of studies verifying that pigs cannot fly for the same reason: no-one has performed such experiments because they would be pointless. Since you are the one insisting that gases do radiate in accordance with Planck's Law, the onus is on you to give examples of such gases. Indeed, you have claimed that experiments have been performed demonstrating this, yet you refuse to give any evidence of them. Why might this be?

An example needs to be in the form of a 3-tuple: (gas, temperature, wavelength in that gas' domain) ...such that when you measure the E of that gas' radiation at that wavelength at that temperature you get a value that differs from what Planck's specifies.

Like I said, no one has ever provided any such example.

spot wrote: ... you already acknowlege that air is not a body therefore it cannot be a black body.

Yes, I acknowledge such.

Oh wait, are you still on your scientifically ignorant religion-supporting kick of trying to nullify science by having it declared "Not Applicable"? Are you going to insist that Planck's does not apply to the earth's atmosphere and to earth's "Climate" goddess because Planck's somehow only "applies" to black bodies and does not apply to everything, everywhere at all times? Are you going to warn us to be very, very wary of being lulled into an understanding that Planck's merely uses ideal black bodies (which have a domain of all wavelength values) as a base reference?

Is that your argument? We could be done with this discussion before I finish my breakfast.

That should be your clue to lift your head out of strictly warmizombie websites that give you your warm, fuzzy religious high, and actually learn/understand Planck's. Planck's is science. It's not a story that you just read about. Every warmizombie will give you a different ending, and none of them will impart the fundamental understanding that will answer your questions. Certainly none will ever provide any chapters of the story that put the Global Warming faith in jeopardy or that would naturally cause you to question any of the basic tenets of the WACKY dogma.

It's better to just refer to Planck's as one big trollish comment. I mean, what was Planck thinking in the first place? He obviously wasn't a "climate scientist." Sheesh.

If science brings you down then push it aside and indulge in that good old-time religion. Planck's can't bother you if you are seated at the right hand of Climate.

Planck's blows away all versions of "greenhouse effect" that try to violate Planck's.

You know that warmizombies need "greenhouse effect" to be TRUE. The entire Global Warming faith collapses without it. As such, warmizombies systematically attempt to violate every law of physics, one by one, in an attempt to find the Holy Grail of Global Warming, i.e. settled science that PROVES the religion is true.

Unfortunately, "greenhouse effect" at its core is a violation of physics. It's an increase in energy (in the form of temperature) where energy cannot increase (1st LoT). Ergo, warmizombies concoct one "explanation" after another, each leveraging a different violation of physics, hoping beyond hope that this will be the Holy Grail they seek.

I've accompanied many warmizombies on their search, pointing out how their new "explanation" violates physics. They all follow the same path and it's a trivial matter to foresee where any one of them will be trying to lead the discussion.

Warmizombies usually wander into Planck's after getting stonewalled by Stefan-Boltzmann. Whenever a simple model like Stefan-Boltzmann thwarts their efforts they seek the refuge of heavy convolution. Diving into quantum mechanics usually feels to them like a safe bet. They think that if they can just reduce everything down to the individual photon level that they can then pull out some complex statistical equations if necessary and hide behind them.

They never anticipate me pulling out Planck's and showing how they are violating it. The next step is essentially automatic, i.e. declare Planck's "Not Applicable!" Of course that doesn't work but it requires work because warmizombies are intellectually lazy and they will only "learn" whatever is written in Wikipedia, which is usually off slightly in some way. In this case, Wikipedia does not explain that an ideal black body is just a reference. Wikipedia presents the material as though Planck's APPLIES to only ideal black bodies which don't exist. Before you claim that "No one is arguing that Planck's doesn't apply to anything in nature" you would be greatly mistaken. I'm not sure (I would have to go back and check first) but I think Surface Detail started down that road at one point (a while before your arrival). Surface Detail only "knows" what Wikipedia gives him permission to learn.

So Planck's becomes a sort of "dead end" for these Holy Grail searches. It leaves warmizombies grumbling, accusing non-believers of "not even knowing basic science" and going in circles, returning to insisting that Planck's "does not apply!"

Planck's applies everywhere to all things always.

I hope that helps.

Actually, that's exactly what Planck's Law does say. Planck's Law gives the spectral radiance at a particular wavelength of an ideal black body as function of temperature alone. If gases emitted in accordance with Planck's Law, spectroscopy would be impossible. The mere existence of spectroscopy proves that gaseous substances do not emit radiation in accordance with Planck's Law.

Well, he says that it's Planck's, plus something about the incoming light, plus something about the domain of the gases involved. All those together might very well make up the correct function, but it's more complex than just Planck's.

No, your loss. IBDaMann hasn't lost anything. He is still perfectly able to present his arguments in his style. Nothing has changed for him. It is your loss if you don't listen to them. You very easily might no learn something you could have.

I am listening. I'm saying that other people quite likely won't. IB's rants are surprisingly scientifically accurate, but most people notice the rantiness before the scientificality. (Yes, that was on purpose.)

Bulverism doesn't take that form. Bulverism attacks the person presenting the argument rather than the argument itself. You made that statement as a circular argument.

You really should go read Through the Looking Glass. It's an entertaining book.


"Bulverism is a logical fallacy that combines a genetic fallacy with circular reasoning. The method of Bulverism is to "assume that your opponent is wrong, and explain his error". The Bulverist assumes a speaker's argument is invalid or false and then explains why the speaker came to make that mistake, attacking the speaker or the speaker's motive."

So an example is:

"Any two sides of a triangle are together greater than the third."
"Oh you say that because you are a man."

Or:

"You are a man therefore you say X."

This in itself doesn't support anyone's argument, but there is an implied "anything that you only say because you are a man must be false," or "if you say that because you are a man, that is false."

So:

1. You say X because you are a man.
2. Anything that you say because you are a man is false.
3. X is false.

Also, CS Lewis coined the term "Bulverism", and he didn't write Through the Looking Glass.

First, IBDaMann doesn't rant. You do. This post is a great example.

Second, you are still making a Bulveristic statement, denying that you did, then following that up with an example of what you did.

I don't know if your British education taught you to conflate intervals with points but normally in English we don't consider it correct to refer to the entire spectral radiance at just one wavelength.

Maybe math works differently in the UK? I know you guys consider mathematics to be a plural because it ends in an "s"...like calculus, bus, lupus, hagus, corps, chess, etc... so you call it "maths" and maybe over on your side of the pond it's a completely different thing. I don't know, I've never been to the UK.

Actually, that's exactly what Planck's Law does say. Planck's Law gives the spectral radiance at a particular wavelength of an ideal black body as function of temperature alone. If gases emitted in accordance with Planck's Law, spectroscopy would be impossible. The mere existence of spectroscopy proves that gaseous substances do not emit radiation in accordance with Planck's Law.


No, you need to specify the wavelength as well. You can also run the equation over a domain of wavelengths.

Yes, that's what I meant. That's why I wrote "particular wavelength". The point is that your only inputs are temperature and wavelength. If gases followed Planck's Law, spectroscopy would be impossible since all substances would emit with the same spectral radiance for a given temperature and wavelength.

You've really attached yourself to the term "spectral radiance," presumably because Surface Detail was using it. Your statement above doesn't really say anything.

Question: Given a substance S at temperature T that is radiating wavelength W, is there anything outside Planck's that governs the E of that radiance?

I think that depends very much on the state of the substance.

Planck's Law is derived with the assumption that there is essentially an infinite number of possible quantised energy levels available. This is approximately true for solids, where the interactions of the constituent atoms or molecules give rise to a continuum of energy levels.

In gases, though, where the atoms or molecules are isolated from one another, only a limited number of possible energy levels are available, and transitions between these energy states produce the characteristic line spectra. The relative intensities of the lines are determined by the temperature, the difference between energy levels and the average lifetime of each energy level. It's hard to see how Planck's Law could possibly apply to this situation.

Planck's Law carries the implication that there are many quantised energy levels possible, in fact more than you may want to count, but the word "infinite" is inappropriate.

It is irrelevant to speak of your difficulty understanding Planck's. The question is whether you understand it yet.

No, it is YOU that doesn't understand science, or the effects of the thermosphere upon spacecraft.
