I think I finally see what your problem is. You are thinking of static electric fields. Yes those fields can add or subtract, but do not involve photons.We are talking about black body radiation -- electromagnetic waves. Those are not static fields. The waves you want to subtract are moving in opposite directions in the hotplate example but there is no principle that says they can completely cancel.I'm disappointed in you. You didn't show any math. You still need to answer the question:Energy being supplied by the power cord is continually pouring into the system at 2000 watts, and if that 2000 watts can't get out sufficiently through the gap, what do you think happens.Sure, there is the particle-wave duality, but using that to say, "Subtraction of vectors explains where the photons go," would get you a failing grade in any physics course. Please go into detail and cite a source that has the same explanation. You must show a principle where photons can annihilate each other.
