If you wire $25 into Into the Night's account, then he never gave you $75 and you never gave him $100. The $25 is a flow, not a "net flow." It's really not very hard to understand. JackFou wrote: Even if what you say were true (it isn't), it would still not prevent a warmer body absorbing photons from a colder body. You'll apparently do anything to avoid talking about thermal energy when the topic is thermal energy. It always has to be electromagnetic energy. Like I said, let me know when you can come around to staying focused. JackFou wrote: Due to the statistical nature of thermodynamics, Nope. Too funny! Let me catch my breath. You are confusing quantum mechanics with thermodynamics. Thermodynamics laws are principles that are applied to quantum mechanics, not the other way around. You're winging this, aren't you. Wikipedia is coming up short, isn't it? Too funny. . Attached image:

If you look carefully, you'll see that 1.9 eV is indeed smaller than 13.6 eV. The difference in energy between the higher excited state and the lower excited state is +1.9 eV. No "negative difference" needed. Incompatible units. Electron volts are not energy states of electrons. Math error. JackFou wrote: This is exactly what happens in the case of hydrogen.

Now you are trying to deny the Stefan-Boltzmann law. It states: r=Cet^4 Radiance is proportional to temperature, never inversely proportional. The definition of a black body is that it must be able absorb photons of all wavelengths. Therefore, a hotter black body must be able to absorb incoming thermal radiation from a colder black body. Otherwise it would violate the definition of a black body. There is no second black body. The ideal black body is a reference point, not an actual body. There are no actual black bodies. Only 'gray' ones'. They are partially reflective. You cannot heat a warmer object with a colder one. You are still denying the 2nd law of thermodynamics.

If you take two such gray bodies, they will still both absorb and emit a broad spectrum of EM frequencies.

Oh, that's right Mr. Genius, I am the one deflecting. You are the one meting out the brilliance. I can't wait to get thoroughly charred by the magnificence of your intellect. JackFou wrote: So in order for me to "demonstrate" thermal energy flow in any direction, we need to agree on a mechanism by which thermal energy is transferred between two objects. Absolutely not. All we need is to measure the amount of thermal energy at both ends over time, and measuring temperature will do. If I have two tanks of water, each with differing quantities and I allow water to flow from one tank to the other, all I need to measure is the initial quantity of water in each tank, and then monitor the change in quantity in each tank as the water is flowing and that will tell me exactly the rate of water flow between the two tanks. I can measure voltage between two points as current flows. The mechanism in any case is immaterial.

You tell me IBD if you put blinders on to radiance it must be, for you, as though thermal energy is magically teleporting from point A to point B. The answer is that energy from the walls which was initially thermal energy, ends up being thermal energy in your body, and vice versa. It's a back and forth but radiance is the medium for it.

You are seriously trying to make the argument that all these forms of energy are exactly the SAME??? Talking about what energy is and isn't and what forms of energy exist or don't exist generally drifts off into pointless philosophical arguments pretty quickly. I'll say this: There are really only two types of energy -- kinetic energy and potential energy. There is motion and there is the potential to have motion. What you call "thermal energy" is really just kinetic energy of atoms and molecules bumping into each other. So if want to claim that thermal energy has a temperature, that's equivalent to saying that kinetic energy has a temperature, which you yourself already said is not true. So you're contradicting yourself here. There are practical reasons to distinguish more forms of energy like thermal, mechanical, chemical etc. but it's still all just variations on kinetic and potential energies. If you want to consider more forms of energy for practical reasons, then for practical purposes they're not the same -- because why else would you then want to distinguish them in the first place. However, there is a certain equivalence between them because I can transform energy from one form to another. If I take for example a piece of metal and bang on it with a hammer, I'm converting "chemical energy" into "mechanical energy" into "thermal energy". If I bang on it hard enough for long enough, the piece of metal will eventually start glowing red hot because "thermal energy" is constantly converted into "electromagnetic energy" due to the atoms and electrons in the metal bumping into each other -- and I can just as well transform "electromagnetic energy" back into "thermal energy" through absorption. That is exactly how I claim radiative energy transfer happens which you two clowns have repeatedly denied to be true. Are all forms of energy therefore the same? No, that does not follow from anything I said. However, one thing that all forms of energy have in common -- no matter how many you chose to define -- is that they're expressed in units of energy. eV, joule, calories, kWh -- whatever floats your boat. No energy has the unit Kelvin, not even thermal energy. Into the Night wrote: Temperature is the average thermal energy of a substance. Kelvin is a unit of that average energy. Okay, so let me recapitulate our journey. We started with energy. You claimed that an atom cannot absorb an amount of energy (in the form of a photon) which is smaller than the energy the atom already has. Into the Night wrote: No atom will accept a photon that has less energy than the atom itself already has. When I demonstrated to you beyond a doubt that this is possible, you switched from "energy" to "thermal energy", claiming that conventional units of energy like eV or joule or calorie are incompatible with thermal energy for some unknown reason. Into the Night wrote: Math error. Unit incompatibility. Thermal is not electromagnetic energy. Potential energy is not thermal energy. Electron volts is not thermal energy. And when I asked you to give me your preferred unit for "thermal energy", you made another switch from "thermal energy" to "average thermal energy". Into the Night wrote: Average thermal energy is measured as a temperature. You're constantly moving the goal posts, mate. Did you really think I wouldn't notice? But I've got more bad news for you: Taking the average of a set of values of a quantity doesn't change the unit of the quantity. If energy is eV/joule/cal/whatever then average energy is still eV/joule/cal/whatever and not suddenly Kelvin. You really need to be more careful with your units. Into the Night wrote: There is no such thing as 'heat transfer'. Such a buzzword is redundant. Heat IS transfer. It's like you are saying "thermal energy transfer transfer". Energy transfer is a process, not a quantity. Man, shit's really getting wild now. If we're free to constantly redefine words to our liking, I simply redefine heat to mean 'net energy' and call it a day. Either way, if I call it "radiative energy transfer" instead of "radiative heat transfer" will you then give me a plausible mechanism? Edited on 08-05-2020 01:46

Without using electromagnetic energy, I cannot explain it -- and neither can you, apparently because I've asked you repeatedly and you've come up short so far. For all you know, the reason why heat flows from warm to cold could be because of invisible witches up in the sky waving their magic wands.

Your assertion that electromagnetic energy flies in every direction is not in contention so no one's time need be wasted on that subject. A transfer of thermal energy through space is radiance IBD. Now if you don't agree then there is your answer to the riddle. You deny radiant heat. You deny "heat" even. So that is the road block here for you. In your world you'd take a magic marker and censor this image to exclude radiance as a form of thermal energy transfer: From: Thermal Energy Transfer: Conduction, Convection, Radiation "Thermal Energy Transfer can occur by three methods: Conduction Convection Radiation" But one more time IBD: the radiance from the walls when it reaches your skin, what happens to it? It is worth reminding that this issue is discussed on this board, and has been denied by ITN/IBD for 5 years, due to the greenhouse effect involving CO2 molecules absorbing radiance from the ground level of Earth and then radiating out that energy in all directions, including down to the Earth again. Now IBD you can play this "I won't consider radiance" game all you like but you've been claiming, for 5 years, that it's IMPOSSIBLE for radiance from CO2 in the atmosphere to return to Earth and be absorbed.

Your assertion that electromagnetic energy flies in every direction is not in contention so no one's time need be wasted on that subject. Okay, I'll try to explain it one more time, carefully, so that even the slow people in the back of the room aka IBdaMan and Into the Night can follow: I claim that (thermal) energy is transferred between two objects by means of emission and absorption of photons. The transfer as a fundamental process in the form of transitions between quantum mechanical energy states is reversible and may therefore happen from warm to cold and cold to warm and the only condition that must be fulfilled to satisfy full agreement with the laws of thermodynamics is that per unit of time, more energy is transferred from the warmer object to the colder object than in the other direction. I claim that three phenomena can be demonstrated independently: a) Thermal energy can be transformed into electromagnetic energy aka photons. b) Photons emitted from a colder body can be absorbed by a warmer body (and transformed back into thermal energy if you will). c) An atom or molecule can absorb photons that have less energy than the total energy already contained in the atom/molecule. I subsequently claim that from a, b and c follows that (thermal) energy transfer from a colder object to a warmer object is quantum mechanically allowed and that the only condition that must be fulfilled to satisfy full agreement with the laws of thermodynamics is that per unit of time, more energy is transferred from the warmer object to the colder object than in the other direction. It is impossible for you or for me to prove directly that the thermal energy within any body increases or decreases because it is impossible to measure thermal energy directly. It is only possible to measure temperature. Since temperature, by your admission, is an aggregate quantity which depends on the average thermal energy of the particles in a system it would be incredibly difficult -- if not impossible -- to detect a temperature fluctuation in a macroscopic body as a result of the absorption or emission of individual photons. Whether it is actually impossible I don't know for sure because I do not have a thermometer that has a response time on the order of femtoseconds and a sensitivity on the order of 10^-22 Kelvin -- and I strongly suspect neither do you. If you happen to have one, please let me know, I'd be extremely interested in what it has to say! As a result of my lack of such a thermometer, my demonstration will necessarily have to rely on the abovementioned three phenomena. Now you have previously declared that anything which involves photons or electromagnetic energy shall be summarily ignored. I claim that under this condition, it is not possible to explain radiative energy transfer in any direction. I have repeatedly asked you to provide me with a mechanism for radiative energy transfer which you consider plausible so that I can see if I can prove my point using only what you consider to be valid and plausible physics. So far, you have not provided me with a mechanism and I strongly suspect that you cannot provide me with one without falling back on on photons and electromagnetic energy. So unless you're willing to either provide your own pathway for radiative transfer of thermal energy or to accept my pathway which consists of i) transformation of thermal energy to electromagnetic energy ii) transmission of electromagnetic energy from object A to B and finally iii) transformation of electromagnetic energy back to thermal energy as valid, we cannot proceed here.

JackFou wrote:I claim that three phenomena can be demonstrated independently: a) Thermal energy can be transformed into electromagnetic energy aka photons. b) Photons emitted from a colder body can be absorbed by a warmer body (and transformed back into thermal energy if you will). c) An atom or molecule can absorb photons that have less energy than the total energy already contained in the atom/molecule. Are you claiming that thermal energy can flow from cooler body to a warmer body? If so, demonstrate it. What can I do to see some thermal energy flow from a cooler body to a warmer body? Remember that I will only be looking at thermal energy (ergo reading temperatures and noting changes in temperatures). JackFou wrote: It is impossible for you or for me to prove directly that the thermal energy within any body increases or decreases because it is impossible to measure thermal energy directly. It is only possible to measure temperature. Correct. However, if thermal energy increases, temperature increases. If thermal energy decreases then temperature decreases. JackFou wrote: I claim that under this condition, it is not possible to explain radiative energy transfer in any direction. Fortunately, I don't recall anyone asking for you to explain such. In fact, I don't recall anyone expressing confidence that you could explain such. In any event, I'm glad that you won't be wasting anyone's time on something we already understand. JackFou wrote: So far, you have not provided me with a mechanism Nor will I. You are the one with the burden to support your claim. Start supporting it. What can I do to observe thermal energy flowing from a cooler body to a warmer body? If you've got a YouTube video that demostrates such that I could duplicate that would work. I would mention that I am asking to duplicate your experiment ... except that I just remembered you don't know what an experiment is, much less what is required for one to be valid. Just think of something that someone could do to observe thermal energy flowing from a cooler body to a warmer body, which will necessarily involve a temperature increase, however small, in the warmer body, so that we can then agree with your stated theory that thermal energy can flow from cooler to warmer. I claim that the temperature of the warmest body will only decrease, and will experience no increase in temperature, i.e. no thermal energy will flow INTO it, regardless of whatever photons, electrons or little pink gremlins might be doing. My assertion is completely incompatible with your assertion so your successful demonstration will show me to be completely in error, and that will certainly open my eyes ... so get to it. ... and quit trying to shift your burden. I'm not going to be taking any of your monkeys onto my back. You made the claim so back it up or admit that you mispoke. . Attached image: Edited on 08-05-2020 17:09
