darkness is just the absence of light.

[jim barlow]

Michelle, I don't know. We are trying here to look at "dark" as a separate being from light. I don't know how to do that.
If I say it is the absence of light I'm still talking about the light!
I don't think we are equipped to discuss dark separately.

Even "dark matter" means we haven't the foggiest what 90% of the universe
is made up of...
The same with "dark energy" which is blowing the universe apart like an exploding bomb.

We know something there is but don't know what...

It doesn't make sense that darkness is stationary, if it is 90% of the universe and the universe is expanding. Jim, I think I understand what you are trying to say, namely that darkness has its own characteristics, that we shouldn't define it simply in contradistinction to light?

[mkirkpatrick]

Dark, I am wondering if it is without motion, whereas light has a definite speed. And possibly that the dark is the only stationary reference system that truly exists as stationary in the universe.

Now that is a
profound statement,it might very well be true!!!



kind regards michael.
