Displacement Inverse

AI Thread Summary

The discussion centers on determining the average thermal retention of a blackbody irradiated with X-rays. It highlights the relationship between wavelength and temperature, noting that high temperatures are necessary for a blackbody to emit and absorb X-rays. Participants question the assumptions regarding temperature and its implications on thermal retention. The conversation seeks to clarify the physics behind these processes and their relevance to blackbody radiation. Understanding these principles is crucial for accurately assessing thermal behavior under X-ray irradiation.

Could I by any way find out average thermal retention of a blackbody that is irradiated with x rays? Since wavelength is inversely propotional to temp, in order to emit and absorb x rays it must be at a fairly high temperature I guess.

Any particular reason you think this should be the case?

Do we even know? My understanding of dark energy is that particles come into existence, exert and outward force, then vanish. My problem with that is how, of course, then how does dark energy know to push everything in the same direction? The pressure exerted would be in all directions, even if the space was moving so why isn't stuff pushed all over the sky? Thanks - rev
