@Smileyrius,
Quote:At risk of playing the fool here, isn't dark, not the opposite of light, but the name we give to a lack of it? Similar to cold is the name we give to a lack of heat. I mean, you can measure light, but darkness is relative to how well our eyes pick it up. Darkness to a badger per sé would be lower than mine, although I do have poor eyesight.
You might interpret that as the opposite, especially in the case of light and dark. If, as you say, darkness if merely a lack of light, would 0% light then mean there is total darkness? 100% light, then, would be 0% darkness.
Yes, darkness is the lack of light -- and it is still very much its opposite.
(By the way, it works with cold and heat as well.)
