The light we see through the sky isn't immediate.... It was "sent" from the sun days or weeks ago before. It takes a great distance for that light to travel so in essence we are always living in the past in terms if space time because we have to wait to see the sun's light...however it doesn't feel that way because it's continuous.

So in theory if the sun went out...not blew up just died...got old and started flickering...and went out. We would still have light for a couple of weeks at least before eventually have all dark days....the day time would end up being less & less day by day because there is still the backend of the last rays that were cast still rippling outward

Now depending on the absence of natural light our visual spectrum may change over time to where dark is no longer dark. Like many animal who can see better at night than in day.

It takes about 8 minutes for sunlight to reach Earth. No animal sees darkness: most nocturnal animals register infrared better and bats rely on echolocation. Also, the bit about the back end of light rays is just confusing although I don't doubt it makes sense to you. Keep a journal and you could be the next William Burroughs.

Err, light travels at about 300 million metres / second and takes about 8 minutes and 19 seconds to reach Earth.

I don't care what anyone believes, but one thing is for real...having a real discussion of any substance on TA is like a limbless person trying to scratch himself.

Light travels in waves which are like ripples and any rippling affect that is cut off from it's source would always have a backend.

I'm sure you can understand that right?

We ring a bell with our teeth and someone else has sophisticated conversations for us?

Ok so it's minutes and not days or weeks, I said in theory & actually that would be still accurate I just said way longer than it is.

But technically we are still looking through "old light" because it would at least take eight minutes to diminish after/if the sun went out.

Compared to the cutting off of an artificial source of light like a light switch, eight minutes is an incredible amount of time. Not to mention distance.

It tacks like nano seconds for a light swich to turn off and on that with a bulb right over your head, so the eight minutes and distance that the sun's light produces to reach us I think is quite significant in weather dark is actually "dark" once a natural source of light that has help shaped the evolution of this planet and our visual spectrum is gone.




Of course I never said you were wrong in anyway, as it stands dark is the absence of light & that is true.

Absolutely no proof that anything in the Bible is true or that there is a God. All of it sounds much more like "explain the unexplainable with obvious, false answers."

Might as well throw in my opinion since this has stayed open.

[Random_Guy]

God does exist.
