Space is cold - 4 K. Superconductors.
- grim_io 9mo agoRepeating the word "superconductor" does not convince anyone of anything.

- sheepscreek 9mo agoI don’t care about convincing anyone. A question was asked and I answered the best I could with the time I had at hand. Also read by comment above that discusses WHY superconductors could be the key to cooler electronics in space.
- SideburnsOfDoom 9mo agoSpace is not cold. Space is not hot either. Temperature is a property of matter. Empty space does not have a temperature. It is also a perfect insulator for conduction and convection, and as for radiation: it's a problem because of the sun heating up objects via its radiation. This is the basics, I'm not an expert. But I don't think that you have anything useful at all to say here.
