Especially when you misquote them.I'll trust M.I.T. over your declarations, Parrot.
Heat does not transfer. It is not transferable. There is no such thing as 'thermal radiation'." Radiation Heat Transfer (Heat transfer by thermal radiation)
A photon is not radiation. A photon is a particle.All bodies radiate energy in the form of photons moving in a random direction,
Photons have no phase.with random phase
Photons do have a frequency, which determines the energy of the photon.and frequency.
Correct. No molecule will absorb a photon with less energy than the molecule already has.When radiated photons reach another surface, they may either be absorbed, reflected or transmitted.
This part is correct.The behavior of a surface with radiation incident upon it can be described by the following quantities:
$ \alpha$ = absorptance - fraction of incident radiation absorbed
$ \rho$ = reflectance - fraction of incident radiation reflected
$ \tau$ = transmittance - fraction of incident radiation transmitted."

Not a factor. Strawman fallacy.And Kirchoff's law prevents the heating of the hotter object.
There is no such thing as 'net heat'. Heat only flows one way.The hotter object does not get hotter when exchanging radiant heat with a colder object.
