It's more like a ball of nonstop nuclear lightning than anything we've personally ever experienced as "fire", if that helps.
People 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.
don't fuck me up like this
Yeah it was Pratchett. Guess I will be re-reading that one next. I have just re-read all the Night Watch and Witches.
Light permeates most of the universe (everywhere that's not a black hole) You can see light from just about anywhere.
"Daytime is also atmosphere on Earth though. If you were on the moon in broad daylight the sky would still be dark."

For now. Eventually entropy will win and the darkness will be complete
And 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.
Each day is like a very slow "weeeeee" seeing the sun pass.
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.
Not exactly. Comes out scrambled as Hawking radiation.
Mega (or just big boii) quantum encryption devices
It is possible that every black hole is an entire universe, and we're inside of one right now.

Don't fuck them up like that.
"Night" and "day" were really only ever intended to be used on a planet. They kinda lose meaning in space.
You 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!
For you!
Speaking of, fire (the way we are familiar with it) only really happens on earth.
And any of the other infinite number of unknown planets with an atmosphere containing adequate oxygen.
Of course, but none known.
Oxygen, 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.
Do you suppose cockroaches think of us as day-dwelling scum?
They don't think of us at all.
I 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.
False. Day is a causality. Darkness is the universal default state.
Thats irrelevant because darkness ≠ night. Night and day are both defined based on local observations (between sunset and sunrise).
:D
Inaccurate. For example, a location on the perpetually-dark side of an object is shrouded in "night", whereas the opposite side is always "daytime". The argument there is simply: does day/night depend on axial rotation of said object, or does it include the personal transit of a viewer across the boundary and thus cause the rising/setting of the dominant light source by that alone?
Regardless, darkness is the default state of the known universe.
Darkness and night aren't the same thing
You are correct, and that was not the point I made. See above.
Whoa am I high right now
Both a statement and a question, and multiples of each, depending on where the missing punctuation goes.
It's even in the Bible. Checkmate atheists.
care to elaborate?
i can't understand your way of thinking and i would like to do so
Was 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.
thanks
The joke is "God said 'Let there be light.'" Ergo, darkness is the default.
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.
Daytime is also atmosphere on Earth though. If you were on the moon in broad daylight the sky would still be dark.
Wait.... whhhhaa?
