where does the dark go when you turn the light on?

Answer 1

"Dark" isn't a thing. Its the absence of light. No more.
It doesn't "go" anywhere. The light just expands to fill the space that was devoid of it before.

Answer 2

Dark is scared of lights, thats why it runs away when you turn the lights on. If you cover the lights by your hand or smthing else, the dark will come back again. Which proves, dark is scared of lights.

Answer 3

Light is what you see - your eyes interpret the wavelengths and sent them to your brain. When its totally dark you do not see these visible wavelengths - they are not being emitted by any surface. If you put a light on - it emits white light - a mixture of all visible wavelengths, these reflect off surfaces and are emitted by them, sometimes with some wavelength absorbed - this is colour, because different wavelengths are different colour - if they are mixed, like paint they will create another colour. So dark is a lack of llight, and pitch black is no ight - to see true darkness go in a deep cave, and its very strange, but you cannot truly see anything, as their is no wavelengths at all to be detected by your eyes.

Answer 4

Dee Dee Dee! man people can be dumb!
Darkness is the absence of light. Just like the cold is the absence of heat. When you flip the switch or turn the light on, The light just "fills" in the absence.

Answer 5

Where does the light go when you turn the light off?

Answer 6

One day in physics class our teacher produced an A4 document supposedly proving the Dark Sucker theory.

It proposed that light globes are actually Dark Suckers. The higher the wattage of the globe, the greater amount of dark it could suck. It could only suck dark in line-of-sight, so 'shadows' of dark can be seen behind objects that obscure the Dark Sucker. When the Sucker has reached it's holding capacity of dark, the Sucker stops sucking and refuses to suck no more.

Convinced?

Answer 7

Dark cannot "go" anywhere. Dark cannot "do" anything, because "dark" does not actually exist. It is simply the absence of something else, namely light. You can do things to light because it is real - change its intensity, filter it, reflect it, diffuse it, block it. You can't do anything to "dark" because there is nothing there to do anything to. You can do something with a loaf of bread, but you can't do anything with the absence of a loaf of bread. Likewise silence (absence of sound) and cold (absence of heat). These are useful concepts, but darkness, cold, and silence are not real entities. They are just terms used to designate the absence of a real entity.

Answer 8

Darkness is defined as the absence of light,
so, when you turn on your lights, it just disappear

Answer 9

well obviously the what we call a "light" is actually a dark sucker. It works on a similar principal to a vacuum cleaner only in sucks up light instead of dust.

sigh.. you pleb

Answer 10

Well, if black absorbs all colors of the spectrum, and white reflects all the colors, then I would say the dark gets broken-up, shattered, or transmogrified.
