Day is the anomaly
Day is the anomaly
It's more like a ball of nonstop nuclear lightning than anything we've personally ever experienced as "fire", if that helps.
40ReplyPeople think the speed of light is fast, but darkness is faster. Wherever light goes, it finds darkness got there first.
-source not sure, Pratchett probably? If not him then Adams.
31Replydon't fuck me up like this
7ReplyYeah it was Pratchett. Guess I will be re-reading that one next. I have just re-read all the Night Watch and Witches.

Each day is like a very slow "weeeeee" seeing the sun pass.
26ReplyLight permeates most of the universe (everywhere that's not a black hole) You can see light from just about anywhere.
24Reply"Daytime is also atmosphere on Earth though. If you were on the moon in broad daylight the sky would still be dark."

23ReplyFor now. Eventually entropy will win and the darkness will be complete
7ReplyAnd yet, you can not see light in far more places. In fact, 99.9999999%... of all atoms across the whole of reality are, at any given moment, not connected to or part of an entity capable of sight.
Light is the aberration.

Isn't it weird to people that black holes exist? They're holes in the fabric of reality itself. Stuff just goes in and is lost forever.
18ReplyNot exactly. Comes out scrambled as Hawking radiation.

It is possible that every black hole is an entire universe, and we're inside of one right now.

"Night" and "day" were really only ever intended to be used on a planet. They kinda lose meaning in space.
17ReplyYou merely adopted the dark. I was born in it, molded by it. I didn't see the light until I was already a man, by then it was nothing to me but blinding!
11ReplyFor you!

Speaking of, fire (the way we are familiar with it) only really happens on earth.
9ReplyAnd any of the other infinite number of unknown planets with an atmosphere containing adequate oxygen.
12ReplyOf course, but none known.
8ReplyOxygen, and some ongoing process to generate complex molecules to be oxidized - you need something to reduce the things that have already been burnt back into new molecules that can burn, otherwise you run out of stuff pretty quickly

We are like inverse cockroaches.
6ReplyDo you suppose cockroaches think of us as day-dwelling scum?
4ReplyThey don't think of us at all.
4ReplyI suppose cockroaches think of us as something to exploit. So, yes.

If there is no day where you are then there is no night either.
6ReplyFalse. Day is a causality. Darkness is the universal default state.
0ReplyThats irrelevant because darkness ≠ night. Night and day are both defined based on local observations (between sunset and sunrise).
:D
3ReplyDarkness and night aren't the same thing

Whoa am I high right now
4ReplyBoth a statement and a question, and multiples of each, depending on where the missing punctuation goes.

It's even in the Bible. Checkmate atheists.
2Replycare to elaborate?
i can't understand your way of thinking and i would like to do so
1ReplyThe joke is "God said 'Let there be light.'" Ergo, darkness is the default.
6ReplyWas meant as a joke, but the Bible starts with “and God said let there be light” pretty early on.
It’s after creating the earth, so maybe not 100% accurate.

Or you could say night is the anomaly, because most places in the universe are stars.
Nighttime is absence. You could say most of the universe is absence, but most matter is stars.
-1ReplyDaytime is also atmosphere on Earth though. If you were on the moon in broad daylight the sky would still be dark.
