What prevents that waste head being as warm ad the peak in cosmic background background radiation
1 comments

Literally every last thing in the whole universe that can radiate heat is at least as warm as the cosmic background radiation. You cannot shed any heat at all unless you are warmer than the background radiation, because you would be absorbing as much heat from it as you radiate. If you were colder, you would necessarily be absorbing more.

Thermodynamics does not play around.
