Which is it?
You're the one with the unique interpretation of the 2nd Law.
And Stefan-Boltzmann. And relativity. You tell me.
And then explain why your links all contradict your claims.
Is the surface of the Sun powered? LOL!
So you are quite sure that energy can move from cool to warm but unsure as to whether heat is energy or an indicator that energy is moving from one place to another....how can you be so sure of one when you are clueless as to the other....answer = faith.
So you are quite sure that energy can move from cool to warm
For hot objects other than ideal radiators, the law is expressed in the form:
![stef2.gif](/proxy.php?image=http%3A%2F%2Fhyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu%2Fhbase%2Fthermo%2Fimgheat%2Fstef2.gif&hash=5559a63ab866ff509d030f473cecc863)
where e is the emissivity of the object (e = 1 for ideal radiator). If the hot object is radiating energy to its cooler surroundings at temperature Tc, the net radiation loss rate takes the form

Stefan-Boltzmann Law
You'll notice they use the phrase "net radiation loss".
And no mention of the radiation slowing or stopping when another object is nearby.
You may have noticed that none of your sources mention slowing or stopping.
In fact, your sources mention the cooler surface of the Sun radiating toward the hotter core.
They also mentioned our cooler atmosphere radiating toward the warmer surface of Earth.
In direct contradiction to your claim that back radiation does not exist.
....how can you be so sure of one
Because the Stefan-Boltzmann Law and all your sources said so.
