Regarding your question:
I imagine the average to be close to black, as it's average temperature is close to absolute zero. Absolute black being the absence of light or color is what I expect the Void to be. |
I think it is just a matter of starting out, Pat, with two pictures that optically display each other's opposite colors, yet that in reality are not precise enough to turn the entire picture into one large gray zone. Because, that's what should happen if half of one opposite image is placed on the half of the other delivery: one big gray zone. What I tried to do was see if I could turn the right-bottom color into the same gray as the background; I failed since it is still slightly visible as something yellowish and almost dirty-looking.
To be honest, I do not know what the average temperature of our universe exactly is. I do think it is a bit warmer than zero K, but averages are indeed not that interesting in the larger scheme of things. Still, just like the night is never pitch black, the universe is not a dark place. I also do not know what you mean with the Void. Please, explain this, Pat. In your visualization, where do you place the ether, or have I not read enough of this thread and do we consider the ether similarly, as not existing, but appearing to exist?
