Robin! I'm at a loss? So you are saying that 'Carbon' has 0 {zero} background radiation? Like it is at 0 K'
Why can not an object which radiates energy (we know all thing do) can not be fed into an antenna, properly tuned and transmit energy? Maybe your time is before the old carbon element phones where we turned a crank to ring the phone of whom we were calling and often found that the noise from the 'mouth piece' element was extreme an higher that our voice signal? -----Original Message----- From: Robin van Spaandonk [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, November 13, 2006 12:48 PM To: vortex-l@eskimo.com Subject: Re: [Vo]: 2nd law of thermodynamics is incorrect In reply to Paul's message of Mon, 13 Nov 2006 11:27:11 -0800 (PST): Hi, [snip] >Lets simply.

Please forgive my ignorance, but I thought that thermal noise occurred as a consequence of a current passing through a resistor. A current driven by an external voltage. I didn't think that resistors actually generated anything by themselves. Hence, I wouldn't expect either experiment to radiate anything at all (through the antenna). (The only radiation I would expect would be normal thermal radiation, from the body of the resistor, as a consequence of their being at a specific temperature.)
