I believe that if in the vacuum of space you place a blackbody
object with (a) a constant (i.e., unchanging energy per unit time) internal thermal energy source, and (b) internal / surface thermal conduction properties such that independent of how energy enters the blackbody, the surface temperature of the blackbody is everywhere the
same and you place that
object in cold space (no
background thermal radiation of any kind), eventually the
object will come to a steady state condition — i.e., the
object will eventually radiate energy to space at a rate equal to the rate of energy produced by the internal energy source.
