    I know you meant this in humor but...

    I don't think placing a rad in a vacuum would work very effectively as there is no physical medium in which enable heat transfer. There might be a benefit from black-body leech but, unless I am mistaken, a rad exposed to a flow of air or water (or other thermally conductive medium) would be more efficient than exposure to mere entropy of even the coldest vacuum.

    I've actually wondered about things like this in aerospace applications but naturally, not having access to a near absolute zero vacuum I haven't been able to test the notion. I don't know anyone who has access to such things either.

    Look at the tyranny of party--at what is called party allegiance, party loyalty--a snare invented by designing men for selfish purposes--and which turns voters into chattles, slaves, rabbits, and all the while their masters, and they themselves are shouting rubbish about liberty, independence, freedom of opinion, freedom of speech, honestly unconscious of the fantastic contradiction; and forgetting or ignoring that their fathers and the churches shouted the same blasphemies a generation earlier when they were closing their doors against the hunted slave, beating his handful of humane defenders with Bible texts and billies, and pocketing the insults and licking the shoes of his Southern master.
