Does light really need dark, and vice versa? |

Interesting question. I think in order to fully appreciate what light and dark are, you need both. But then, light really doesn't need dark. And dark is just the lack of light. So I would say that dark needs light (specifically it needs light to go away), but that light doesn't need dark. |

Which banner sparked this question? :p Darkness is simply the quality of being (nearly) without light. Light simply refers to the electromagnetic spectrum. In a sense, I guess they are the same thing, and to differentiate, you do need both. Scientifically, dark does need light because it is only possible to have a reduced amount of light. And scientifically speaking, light needs dark because we would have an infinite amount of electromagnetic radiation everywhere ![]() So I would answer, yes.. they are mutual, and should one not exist, neither can exist.. |
