Where is work?if there is work, isn't there heat?Two white hot lengths of steel are taken out of the blast furnace and are left to cool. The sides that face each other cool less quickly.
SSDD says it is because they are not allowed to radiate towards each other. Everyone else says it is because they ARE radiating at each other.
If you put a third piece of cool steel between them, then apparently the hot steel is now allowed to radiate. Bizarre, the third piece controls the radiation from the hot ones.

Even stranger is that the hot steel throttles the amount of radiation it emits, based on the temperature of the cooler steel, without ever knowing the temperature of the cooler steel, because the cooler steel is not allowed to radiate. If it can't radiate, how does the information about its temperature get transmitted?
He's previously said that absorption and emission isn't work, but still refuses to say what work takes
place on the Sun's surface which would allow "non-spontaneous" emission of radiation from the
cooler surface toward the hotter corona.
Weird.
Why then doesn't the atmosphere get hot rather than cool?

What atmosphere? Where? When?
You really need to be specific with your questions when we're discussing multiple objects/topics.

The one high up above you anywhere you are at any time of the day.
