Seems like from a thermodynamics question you can first think of having two identical systems with identical energy inputs. Unless one of the systems is capable of storing energy in some form differently from the other the equilibrium temperatures should be the same. Now CFBs emit more of the

This iconoclast appreciates this thread simply because symbols are only approximations of reality constrained by our limited knowledge and language. The Fly Ball imagery is startlingly profound and played a major role in my own coding efforts. I never believed that our brains contained a

Glen, Thanks for the reorientation! If you want to discuss complexity, I think an interesting question regarding perception-action systems is how much of the complexity has to be inside the organism, and how much of it can be encapsulated in the larger organism-environment system. The more the

I'm not a physicist ... or very smart. But it seems like what you're asking is if/whether there are any other paths, other than heat and light for energy to escape. If not, then you're right. If so, then not. But I suspect if there are any other escape paths, they will be larger in the

Since there are some non-naïve, i.e. professional physicists, as well as just gererally smart people in FRIAM, I pose the following fun question. Given: two transparent, sealed containers filled with air - one contains an incandescent light bulb A that consumes 100 watts of energy; the other
