Lunar Light Lunacy
« on: April 06, 2018, 01:28:24 PM »
I have recently brought special attention to the concept of lunar light in the Flat Earth model. The moon emits its own light, which cools objects.
How?
Light contains energy, in photons.
Photons are little packets of energy that heat things up.
Heat is energy, after all. It's the movement of atoms.
Leave something out in the summer sun all day and it will get hot from the energy transfer.
That's how photo-voltaic solar panels work. They absorb that energy, and convert it to electricity.
In the round earth reality, the moon does not heat things because it only reflects to earth, about 17% of the sun's illumination.
It's why there's no such thing as 'lunar panels'. It's pitifully inefficient.
The sun is far more powerful, making the moon seem colder.
So the question stands, how does the moon's light remove energy?
Antimatter photons?
Magic?
Nanomachines?
Some undiscovered subatomic particle that sucks away energy?
Could we make a light that does the same thing?
Please enlighten me on the subject. ;)

Spycrab, you're the best memeber on the fora. Thank you for being born.

I have a feeling this started when someone observed that when the moon was shinning bright, temps dropped. Now we know that clouds trap heat in from the Sun and keep the temps a little higher. Long ago, they probably didn't realize the impact cloud cover had and wrongly assumed the moon made things cooler. The fact that anyone thinks this is true to day just goes to show how willfully ignorant people can be.
I saw a video where a pilot was flying above the sun.

This discussion has indeed occurred before. We were given this link last time

This was a video from there that attempted to demonstrate it:



This was one I found debunking the earlier video, although indirectly.



Tom's response can be found here: https://forum.tfes.org/index.php?topic=8357.msg137424#msg137424

The discussion continued past that point, but Tom did not reply to anything after the one linked above.

Every kind of light is electromagnetic radiation, it only has different frequesncies.
Visible light has wavelengths betwee 380 and 760 nanometers.
Ultraviolet is shorter, X-Ray and Gamma ray is even shorter than that.
Infrared is longer, microwaves longer than that and radio waves longer than all of them.
Radio waves are also divided in several grades.

What is common to all of them is, they carry energy.
When they hit material, they give energy to atoms.
Atoms having more kinetic energy vibrate faster, and it increases temperature.
That is how Sun, spotlights, bulbs and hot wire heaters warm things.

Light and other radiation coming form Moon (or from anywhere else) can't travel without energy and when hits some object it gives own energy to it.
Additional energy might be too low to measure the difference, and that's all.

Have you ever heard of a mechanism where receiving energy can reduce total energy of a body, reducing its temperature?
Even receiving energy from hammer will make piece of metal warm up, because vibrations will increase speed of its atoms.

Adding energy will not make total energy lower.
And again, radiation can't travel without energy.
