| May 8, 2019 at 18:30 | comment | added | JBH | @Soan, you know, from that perspective my answer is a bit of a frame challenge. The only simple way to "cause darkness" is to occlude it. On the other hand, if the Dark Lord had mastered the science of photonic resonance, allowing him to shift normal photons into daniels! Muahahahahaha! | |
| May 8, 2019 at 18:28 | comment | added | JBH | @Soan, like I said, "frequency sensitive switches." As for your second comment, that's not true. Photons are not being absorbed. There's simply a lower percentage of them being detected compared to the whole. Can you imagine how many daniels you'd have to emit to reduce the percentage of photons detected by your eyes due to sunlight from 100% to 1%? (answer: 99 suns worth of daniels...). If daniels carry the same thermal potential photons do, you'd burn to a crisp long before you had a chance to experience that kind of darkness. | |
| May 8, 2019 at 18:26 | comment | added | Soan | But with your solution you would create a completely dark world where nothing can be seen by nobody. So not even the sun would be visible, and eyes wouldn't exist in the first place. | |
