Comment on A material that doesn't exist on Earthparent

other than friction or the sun adding heat, why would they assume that it would take so long for it to cool down?

I assume it's because there's only so much of that heat that the globs could radiate into space as (infrared) light.

Maybe someone familiar with the intimate details of blackbody radiation could chime in here?
