No. It's very easy to see it's wrong. Light can be detected even when it's not visible. The whole thing has nothing to do with human perception. Your eyes are adapted to be particularly sensitive to green, for good evolutionary reasons, and totally blind to ultraviolet or infrared light. Period. Are we done? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm., no we are not , my diagrams show there is no darkness and you are incorrect . You can experiment with my diagrams in real life and observe that the space is not darkened when in shade . Only the surface is darkened . -1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Intoscience Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 Space appears dark (black) in colour because black is the colour our brains attribute to the lack of detectible light entering our optical system. It has nothing to do with the colour of "space". Colour is nothing more than the frequency of the light being reflected off the object which is being illuminated. When the light is reflected it will appear as a colour, or a combination of colours, and possibly a multitude of colours if the light is reflected at different frequencies, like a prism. Space doesn't reflect visible light so will just appear "dark", this doesn't mean space has a colour, its just the way we perceive it visually. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It isn't my evidence , it is an everyday observation anyone can perform using an object and light source . We can observe this when we create a shadow , only the surface becomes darker in appearance , the space in shadow remains transparent . If darkness existed we would observe the space in shadow to become less clear in appearance , the view of the surface would be obstructed by darkness . 1 hour ago, Intoscience said: Space appears dark (black) in colour because black is the colour our brains attribute to the lack of detectible light entering our optical system.

TheVat Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 Amazing how much time SFN members are willing to spend sparring with crackpots. Seems like a large percent of recent threads consist of little else. Can't they be buried in the cornfield like that telekinetic boy does in the Twilight Zone episode? Badda bing badda boom.

So what are you telling us that we don't already know? That light passes through space and is not reflected, so appears dark? What a revelation!!
