The Erebus Hypothesis is a scientific hypothesis created by Michael Perusse, to define the true nature of light. In essence, it states that, despite common belief, light is just the absence of darkness, not the other way around. As proof, he used the example of light bulbs, which he called Darkness Absorbers.

Etymology
In Greek mythology,Erebus was the God of Darkness and Shadow, and as such, was chosen by Perusse as the perfect name for his ground breaking hypothesis.

Light Bulb Evidence
As proof for his theory, Perusse used the nature of light bulbs. He stated that, in fact, light bulbs did not emit light, but rather absorb the nearby darkness, in a manner similar to how black holes are commonly conceived to absorb light.

Shadows
To show this, he used shadows. If there is anything directly between an object, or space, and a light source, a shadow will appear in that space. This is in fact, a build up of darkness, as it is unable to be absorbed by the light bulb.
