Tolkien Riddle 4

It cannot be seen, cannot be felt,
Cannot be heard, cannot be smelt.
It lies behind stars and under hills,
And empty holes it fills.
It comes first and follows after,
Ends life, kills laughter.

Administrator Posts : 1081 Join date : 2010-12-09 Age : 25

darkness

Expert Scripter Posts : 393 Join date : 2011-01-17

yeah. you're both correct

Administrator Posts : 1081 Join date : 2010-12-09 Age : 25

but you can see darkness when it contrasts with light!!! =P

Expert Scripter Posts : 393 Join date : 2011-01-17

you cant see darkness because darkness is the absence of light

Administrator Posts : 1081 Join date : 2010-12-09 Age : 25

but you can see shadows. =P
but what if it was warm darkness. you could see it through an infra-red camera. >:)

darkness has no heat. darkness is not a physical thing while light is a physical thing.

I'm not sure you can even prove darkness exists

Expert Scripter Posts : 393 Join date : 2011-01-17

darkness does exist, but it is not a physical thing

Administrator Posts : 878 Join date : 2010-07-30

So, theoretically it is there.

Expert Scripter Posts : 393 Join date : 2011-01-17

thats why It cannot be seen, cannot be felt,
Cannot be heard, cannot be smelt.
It lies behind stars and under hills,
And empty holes it fills.
It comes first and follows after,
Ends life, kills laughter.

Plus, shadows are created when light is blocked, creating the absence of light.

It is just what it is, along with time. Both are there, you just can't technically prove they are there in my opinion.
