I might not get any responses, since this thread is a few days old, but I have a related comment. Most have made it clear - in the absence of any heat source of any kind - space is cold.
What is the orbit that the space shuttle uses? Does it try to stay on the "dark side" of the earth or the periphery? What would happen if the space shuttle stayed in "sun shine" for a large duration of its orbit around earth?

burt-oh-my!
I am assuming no cover at all lfor your arm - a bare arm.
It's a bare-back space job!
But seriously, wouldnt the lack of air or anything else contacting your skin make the heat loss at a minimum SLOWER than on earth?
Once again I think you misinterpret me
When is there never any mass ?????????? There is none in a vacuum but there is still mass somewhere no ????
Even before the big bang there was mass but time did not exist
If the universe expands into a big chill there will still be mass but time will no longer flow
Mass cannot be eliminated unless it is converted into energy and you cannot get rid of energy unless it is converted into mass no ????? But time you can eliminate
No I never intended to say that at all. I pointed out that to travel through a vacuum light behaves like a particle because there is nothing to wave through
that was the point I was making and I will go one further !
here is the double slit experiment done with a single electron, not a photon
The electron behaves like an particle when it is observed but like a wave when it is not observed,
(Not sure if photon would behave the same as electron but I suspect it would as they both obey quantum laws)
Raising two questions
1 what is matter a wave or a particle ?
2 How does it know it is being observed !!!!!!!!!!!?

We're pretty much beyond my knowledge here now, having never been stuck bare-ass in a vacuum so I'm not sure. I know what you're saying... a terbite w/o an 'expert' opinion? It's shocking, but there you are.
Gravity bends light , therefore we bend light as we have a massDude you won't get a quantum mechanics education here - I'd recommend a book, start with say Michio Kaku - he's a fun read, many others are plain offputting. After you are done a few of them you'll have a lot of these fundamental questions answered.
Your understanding of the fundamentals is being shut down because you are processing terms within the confines of language - "observed" is term used for a layman equivalent, they could have used the term "measured" as well - notice how that makes more sense.
As well, the wave/particle duality of matter is also to be found in these fundamentals.
Happy Reading - when you get to the point where you understand how to bend light pm me
They have measured this bending when the sun was in an eclipse as they could now see how starlight had shifted from its expected path
I have seen Michio Kaku on TV and he explains things simply
Hawkins is also a easy read as well as Asimov although he died so his stuff is dated
And I do believe observe is the correct term
They knew they were firing electrons into the slit but it made a wave impression so what was coming out of the slit ? On observation an electron came out and made a particle impression

Yes the light was travelling the curvatures of space
Bend space enough and two points will touch allowing interstellar space travel without warp drive
This very well may be what black holes do as the matter they devour may be ejected in another part of the universe
There is such a thing as anti-matter
During the big bang these two forces fought it out in a great anniliation and matter won but antiparticles are created where high-energy particle collisions take place
Step one
harness the energy of a couple of stars to bend the space in front of you until two different regions of space touch
Step two
cloak your space ship in anti matter (try not to get any on you)
Step three
travel to another region of space ( do not care what is over there just boldly go )
Am I right Kingfisher1 ( Him got degree in Physics ) ??
This is TERB where they seriously discuss planting wood with a RMT or even a pretty MD
