Answer 1

*No !!!!!!!!

Answer 2

All is light. Nothing can exist without light. For example, imagine a totally dark room. Light is absent in it's space.You cannot see anything at all, but can feel the furniture and ornaments in the room. When you pull up the blinds and move the draperies aside, light floods in and you can see everything that was absent seconds before. The light from the sun makes all the difference to the room, but not to itself. It is forever shining whether darkness is there or not. When the darkness of night comes, does this mean the sun does not exist? Light is the very source of darkness and darkness cannot exist without it. Light is forever present, and it is what we are on a pure energetic level. Therefore, Divine light lightens everything for all.

Answer 3

Your question is interestingly ambiguous. Considering the ambiguities, my paradoxical answer is that Darkness is a form of Light and Darkness lightens the Universe.

Let me explain. There are at least three ways to conceive darkness: a perceptual quality, a type of light wave, and a metaphor. The either/or thought mode is a common susceptibility to error. Darkness is ALL OF THE ABOVE. Your question merits more than a black or white answer: Darkness can be light; light can be darkness.

Light is the function of perception and light waves; that is, light has a physical basis, whereas perceived light has both psychological and physical bases. Some light waves we can perceive as coloured, dark, or light.

Other light waves we cannot perceive at all; metaphorically speaking, insofar as the invisible light waves are mysterious to our cognitive, perceptual system, they are dark. Also, it is possible that there is some other animal that perceives as light the light waves which we perceive as dark.

Regardless of whether or not we can perceive certain light waves as light, they all lighten the universe, for they all are its light.

Answer 4

No ! it is not exactly another form of light, but it is origin to create light in human life (in all the fields including material light). If darkness / lack of knowledge had not been known how light / knowledge could have been created / invented ! and hence darkness, though it is not an form of light, is very much positively related with light.
For example : Maharshi Balmiki (originally a killer, had been in lightened and composed the great ethic "Ramayana"), Sant Tulasidas (a great attache of his wife had been in lightened and composed the most famous epics "Shri Ramcharitmanas and many other epics). To name a few from recent past are Shri Lalbahadur Shashtry (then PM of India) Shri Guljarilal Nanda (a great then Indian leader & officated twice as PM of India), Mr. Abrahim Linkan (most famous then US President), Lord Winsten Charchil (most famous then PM of UK) "they all were from very nomal family and reached the hights by gaining inlightment of knowledge".

Answer 5

From physics point of view, it is possible to have total darkness for human eyes wile there is a very bright infrared or ultraviolet light not visible to human eyes.

What is intended in the question may be, 'In darkness is there an 'illumination' (such as insight) that occurs to people?'

This happens frequently. Vision is the highest sensory input to most people. When this is shut out as in darkness or by closing the eyes, thoughts slow down, the mind becomes still, and consciousness turns inward. In this state of alert quietitude 'Illumination' can happen.

Answer 6

Nope, you're all messed up-darkness makes things more difficult to discern by visual means. The amount of refracted light is reduced, therefore less input data>>things are not lightened here, they're made less light.

Darkness can moderate light's intensity, or light's power can diminish the perception of darkness, but either way you slice it, at their extremes, they're on opposite sides of the scale.

Darkness lacks the demonstrable radiant energy of light, thus, it lacks the power to enlighten anything for me.

You too, and everybody else. So get on with yourself.
I mean it.

Answer 7

Darkness at night is a form of light but at noon it is absence of the same

Answer 8

Equivocal at best but accurately no. What it is in the realms of duality-- as you do observe and somewhat intimate -- is the absence of light. It does depend on light to be an absence of itself. As to both, it all rests with the action of dependency more than one being a different turn on the other.

Answer 9

The spectrum of visible light is very tiny so yes light can be dark. Humans can only perceive a small bit of the information being sent to their brains.

Answer 10

Frivolously speaking , darkness lightened up my day with my beau in an auditorium !

Seriously ,I believe darkness in itself cannot be light of any form. Though it hints that at its end there will always be light and enlightenment .Why don't we say ,that darkness is an inevitable and essential precursor to light

Answer 11

Good question...

maybe darkness is just light taking a nap. lol.

I think it can and does lighten things...picture the yin yang symbol--dark spot surrounded by light...light spot surrounded by dark...connected somehow...interchangable.

darkness can be delved into...it has depth...i have light & darkness inside...n sometimes i can't differentiate between the two. It can certainly can lighten things for me...there is hidden mysteries in the darkness...:))

"Light accepts darkness as his spouse for the sake of creation."
