Darkness...

What is the particularly relation of darkness an infinity?

To be honest, I'm not sure what you are looking for when you ask for thoughts on darkness other than it being the absence of light. You say that darkness is everywhere, yet, if darkness is the absence of light, your statement is not true. Perhaps you could explain why you think there is more to darkness other than it being used to describe the absence of light. If you mean darkness in a physical sense, I'm not sure you will find much more.

In `total darkness` would not the `darkness` be infinite?

My statement would be that `darkness` can be anywhere!

Yes, I mean the physical `darkness`.

`Darkness` is very extensive in our experience of the existence.
That it is a `non-something` that can be experienced I find somewhat `strange`, making me wonder if there more to this `non-something`.

But it`s hard not to fall into pseudo-philosophical thinking concerning this, like the idea that `darkness` is a `force`(or a part of it) or something.

I`m not quite sure what I`m looking for really, just the possibility of someone with similar thought`s maybe.

Anyway, thanks for the reply!

Even if everything is in darkness, the darkness is still fininite in that it is limited to everything. To qualify this, we must remeber, as we are meaning darkness in a physical sense (it's relation to light), that physical reality is not infinite, therefore, nothing that is dependent upon physical reality can be infinite.



Okay, sure, why not?



Really? Two problems. First, if darkness is the absence of light, then I would argue that darkness is something that is not at all part of our experience; unless you are blind.

"That it is a `non-something` that can be experienced I find somewhat `strange`, making me wonder if there more to this `non-something`."

But even when you do "experience darkness" you are really experiencing the absence of light.

Be careful with language. Many hours have been spent by brilliant people going over problems that arise through unclear language.
