Talk:Darkness

Darkness - Indiae
In The White Tiger, Aravind Adiga calls the Indian countryside the Darkness. Should be mentioned here. Is is widely used in this way? Freetrader (talk) 20:36, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

Opposite or Absence?
I think, technically, darkness is the absence of light. Theory_of_Colours page states "From the Newtonian standpoint, darkness is an absence of light." 63.224.251.40 07:02, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

Page has problems. Unsure of how to correct. Please advise. Buzinkai 06:50, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

Or is light the absence of12:37, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

Answer
The opposite of the presence of light is the absence of light. So, it is both. Electromagnetic radiation exists within darkness, it just isn't within the illuminated electromagnetic spectrum.

lead rewrite.
old lead...[Darkness is the percepted state of being dark or the absence of light. The emotional response to an absence of light has inspired metaphor in literature, symbolism in art, and emphasis.]

I'm removing this and replacing it with referenced facts. percepted? Is that even a word? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lawstubes (talk • contribs) 21:49, 8 August 2010 (UTC)

Whatever Happened to Secularism?
Hey I created an account just to post this; I don't have the skill or experience to edit this this article, but why are all the images on this page strictly religious? I'm a Christian myself, but this is just weird. I understand the "Cultural" section including that religious iconography, but couldn't we come up with some other pictures a little less... in your face religious? Why not include an image of the Earth's light and dark halves seen from space instead of, say, the odd and slightly out of place religious art piece as the first image on the article?

Sorry if this is nit-picky. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Statisticalnormality (talk • contribs) 20:56, 16 September 2018 (UTC)
