I hate to Twitterpost but isn't this completely wrong? In order for something to become cold, heat needs to be taken out of it. In the vacuum of space there's no medium through which the heat can be transported, so wouldn't an object which generates heat in space overheat very quickly?

You're correct.
>>
>>16834266
Just make a sweating quantum computer, duh??

Do you think the Sun doesn't transfer energy (heat) to the rest of the Solar System?
And the idea of the twitter is a waste of time, and for things unrelated to radiation that isn't mentioned (inb4 they would be buried tens of meters deep).

The sun overheats, a lot. That's why they shut it down at night.
And I am a bit chilly today. I needed a sweater this morning.

>The sun overheats,
Irrelevant, thermal management is something well understood since the 1960s. The JWST can maintain an incredibly stable temperature of -220ºC passively, no need to waste energy and time landing on the Moon.

Dude.

>>16834266
Heat can be radiated away. I guess you could create massive radiators, sort of like the ISS has but probably even bigger. Not sure how it would work if you were trying to get to 0 K
>>
>>16834266
Depends on intensity of the activity. Radiators will work just fine in space. With something as big as a crater you have lot of space to work with just radiators.
>>
>>16834266
qbits don’t produce heat so it’s more important to prevent heat from reaching it instead
>>
>>16834266
are you fucking stupid? or indian? or both?
>>
>>16834266
Moon dust would be an issue.
I fit was just in space, the heat would be more of an issue.
But if it's on the Moon, you have this great big moon with which to conduct heat into and away from the servers.
