where does the dark go when we turn on the light?

The same way the light goes when the dark falls...

[fab]

Darkness is always there....

 

It goes away the same way air goes away when liquid is poured into a container.

[Guest hmm]

well, darkness and light are not two separate entities. 

so it is not possible to think of darkness as something that will go away. 

 

[fly360]

Darkness does not exist. Darkness is the absence of light. 

Coldness does not exist. Coldness is the absence of heat.

Are you a Physicist?  So, does it mean that when liquid is poured into darkness that light appears?

[yuquidam]

When our eyes cannot seeeee we call it "darkness". So even in broad daylight or "when we turn on the light" a blind "sees" only darkness. Thus, darkness is only the absence of light in our eyes. It does not go anywherrre. So if you choose to live in darkness, you choose to live in the absence of light. Let your heart see the light, and happiness shall be forever yours even if your eyes see no liight. Orr mi tuo fuo, shang chai shang chai. [Adapted from the "Kungfu Panda"].LOL

As the old saying says: Hung is Sik, Sik is Hung. So light is dark, dark is light. 

[TT2880]

A sorrow heart sees darkness despite being surrounded with people in the day. 

A joyful heart sees light despite being alone in the night.

Another saying goes:

Long is short, short is long. It is after all a penis that changes according to the times. 

So also darkness or light depends on what time lah.

does it matter? why care so much? all that matters is the light has done its job.

Physicists can calculate the value of the pressure exerted by light.

 

Initially, after God created the universe, darkness was everywhere.

And then God said:  "Let there be Light".  

And light, with its pressure, pushed away darkness,  

This is why darkness, as we know it,  is extremely compressed.

When we turn off the light in our room at night,

the pressure of light is removed from the compressed darkness,

which immediately jumps up to fill the whole room with darkness.

 

I haven't seen light appear when liquid is poured into darkness.  One explanation for this

could be that the darkness DISSOLVES into the liquid and still remains there.

We may need to investigate a little bit more the physics of it.

 

[Steve5380]

It seems that no one has come up with more ideas of where the darkness goes. 

This is strange since we all turn on lights, and the darkness disappears.

If at least the darkness would make some noise when it moves away...

It stays exactly where it is.  Don't beleive me?  Trying switching off the light and there it is again.

The dark goes hiding in my heart.

This argument is not valid if the darkness comes back so fast that you cannot see it.

 

DOESN'T DARKNESS TRAVEL AT THE SAME SPEED AS LIGHT?

Interest piquing question. 

It is only with the presence or absence of light that determines darkness. 

In an area with absence of light, it becomes dark. 

An object is black (dark) if it absorbs light.

Isn't dusk the time after twilight when the sun gets tired from having shined all day long and goes to rest beyond the horizon?  But with dawn the sun returns rested and fresh.

Sure!  but stick to the topic.  

 

Darkness goes to places where there is no light. So simple and yet nobody knows.

[lean n mean]

Recently, some guests really like to come up with pretty WTF topics. Do you really think you can get scientific answers on such topics from laymen? if you are really serious, google! Otherwise, you are probably just trolling.

Overlap is overlap.  Maybe layers of light and dark alternating, like the layers of wood in a playwood.

Or light and dark mixed in equal amounts in a blender.

 

You take your pick.

I will pick you to be thrown into the blender if you don't stick to the topic.

 

Darkness get sucked into your asshole, I mean dark hole in the universe which is why  it is called "black hole".

You don't need to get so ugly.

 

Aren't we having a civil conversation about something we all perceive with our eyes?   Light, Dark.  Every sentient being knows about this.

 

Or would you prefer to have a discussion about quantum mechanics, general relativity and dark matter?

[noldor]

A wonderful question!

 

The first question might well be: what is the meaning of coming and going. A definitive set to describe coming and going (as in set theory, venn diagram, etc) would first need to describe the nature of causality, which would itself rest on a specific formulation on the arrow of time itself, ie, does one physical thing cause a subsequent physical thing and is itself caused by a prior physical thing. In other words, is there a definitive past and present.

 

There is a reason why correct scientific conclusions never use the word 'cause', but instead use various terms relating to probability. Like maybe, most likely, is strongly correlated to, percentages etc. All of science rests on the assumption that the flow of time moves irrevocably towards what most people conceptualize as from present to future. I omit mention of the past as that has to respond to another query on the nature of memory.

 

The assumption of the direction of the flow if time has never been definitively affirmed. Experiments such as the delayed choice quantum eraser stemming from attempts to prove the speed of entanglement have proven only but that physical causality and the direction of the flow of time are not causally linked. In a rather surprising twist thus, all the comments above in fact have an element of accuracy to them. I hesitate to use the word truth as far too often there have been many truths to any given occurrence ( again i refrain from the use of the word fact for all of the above reasons).

 

Word of caution once more: my training is as a logician and a theoretical physicist so my thoughts spring from there. As they say oncologists diagnose everything relative to cancer, ents say everything is caused by sinal issues or some such, so one could consider my conment to be extremely narrow in scope. But this is my last post in this forum my personality experiments are concluded, thus no more nonsensical shite from me again yay.

Sometimes I too don't know if I am coming or going.  Like planning to leave the house and not sure if I have my car keys, my wallet, my cellphone, entering and leaving repeatedly to check if I have turned off the lights, removed the pot from the oven and turned off the gas.   This reversals of the "arrow of time" can frustrate me ...

 

Your comment is so narrow in scope that it passes freely between the two-slit interferometer, and could be erased into many quantums of delayed choice.  In your personality experiments, hopefully you were able to determine the correct direction of coming and going of your nonsensical shite, without causing any internal entanglement of physical causality.  If there is entanglement, this can be a serious emergency and you need to go to an ER as soon as possible.

 

I wish you the best of luck

You are in the RED, Mr. Simple. You crossed out the esoteric advanced principles of Modern Physics I was discussing with @noldor,  a conversation so refined that it could not have been open to any Simple mind.  I apologize for not having lowered this discussion to its lower level so you could be comfortable with it.

Yes, you can.  Not only in the lighted room, but on the lighted screen of your monitor.  We see darkness in many posts on this forum.
