Beware of th Darksucker
I was surfing the net and I found a site on light. What was said was that Light is the absence of darkness. Light supposedly consumes dark, so would a candle be a darksucker

Actually, darkness is the absence of light, if I remember my 4th grade science correctly. That is why when you block a light, everything gets dark. It's because there is no (visible) light to be seen.

Light does not consume darkness but rather darkness is the void that is not light. Light merely fills the void.

You were most likely on one of those weird crazed cult websites. Darkness is good. Light is evil. Blehhhh

What you said doesnt sound scientific at all, more philisophical. If that is the case, then I say that evil (darkness) is the absence of good(lightness) , and that there would be no comparative good without evil.

This sounds more like a Morrigan doujin than a CT topic of discussion.

Q, it goes without saying that it can be stated either way. Both mean the same thing, dark and light exist in exclusion of the other. ie: If it's dark, there is no light. If it's light, there is no dark. It doesn't matter which one you say. But you're right in that light does not actually consume darkness. It is afterall just a definition. Dakness is an absence of substance, not substand in and of itself, so light does not interact with it except for as a concept.

What Q said applies to many topics, including heat and sound, or just energy in general- in a way there is no such thing as cold, it's just a lack of heat.

Chocobo, I think you are on to something...make a candle maker, and patent it as a "Darksucker." I bet you could make a few bucks off it.
