Thread 16834266

I hate to Twitterpost but isn't this completely wrong? In order for something to become cold, heat needs to be taken out of it. In the vacuum of space there's no medium through which the heat can be transported, so wouldn't an object which generates heat in space overheat very quickly?

>>16834266 (OP)
You're correct.

>>16834266 (OP)
Just make a sweating quantum computer, duh??

Do you think the Sun doesn't transfer energy (heat) to the rest of the Solar System?
And the idea of the twitter is a waste of time, and for things unrelated to radiation that isn't mentioned (inb4 they would be buried tens of meters deep).

The sun overheats, a lot. That's why they shut it down at night.
And I am a bit chilly today. I needed a sweater this morning.

>The sun overheats,
Irrelevant, thermal management is something well understood since the 1960s. The JWST can maintain an incredibly stable temperature of -220ºC passively, no need to waste energy and time landing on the Moon.

>the jwst is a fusion reactor
>we literally cloned the sun
Dude.

Heat can be radiated away. I guess you could create massive radiators, sort of like the ISS has but probably even bigger. Not sure how it would work if you were trying to get to 0 K

>>16834266 (OP)
Depends on intensity of the activity. Radiators will work just fine in space. With something as big as a crater you have lot of space to work with just radiators.

>>16834266 (OP)
qbits don’t produce heat so it’s more important to prevent heat from reaching it instead

>>16834266 (OP)
are you fucking stupid? or indian? or both?

>>16834266 (OP)
Moon dust would be an issue.
I fit was just in space, the heat would be more of an issue.
But if it's on the Moon, you have this great big moon with which to conduct heat into and away from the servers.

>>16834266 (OP)
wow, why don't we just send a million dollars worth of equipment to the moon for billions of dollars with noone there because building a habitat and living there is too costly when we can just make litres of liquid helium in an afternoon next to a cup of coffee, why didn't anyone ever think of that????

>In order for something to become cold, heat needs to be taken out
Also heat doesn't need to reach it either. Combine the two, and you get near perfect area for cooling. A large passive cooling area.
>In vacuum of space there's no medium through which heat can be transported
Thats been solved for nearly 40+ years.

You radiate away the heat.

Why does everyone keep saying "in space" when OP is very very very clearly talking about "on the moon"?

>>16836996
Same shit. Both are vacuum where the usual air medium doesnt exist. The problem/solution are the same.

>>16837004
Wrong. Moon has nearly unlimited supply of -200C dust/rocks you can use to absorb heat.

>>16836895
Hm?

>>16834266 (OP)
What are people that haven't finished high school doing on this board? Why can't you just fuck off?

>>16834266 (OP)
The heat could rapidly dissipate through the ground. Which is why you should never sleep outside on the bare ground. But it doesn't matter either way because Quantum "Computing" is a scam and probably money laundering.

>so wouldn't an object which generates heat in space overheat very quickly?
Heat is emitted through conduction, convection (technically conduction), and radiation. Radiative emission is functional though vacuum and is effective in space except when sunlight or other warm objects cause more warming than the object is able to radiate. Objects still radiate heat in direct sunlight, they merely are also absorbing heat from the sunlight.

Bodies irradiate naturally. They will lose heat, just slowly
