People do. :D I just don't mind when they do.

@Bonk: Yeah, you're right.

Did I quote Deathwish's post? Maybe I should have.

That would have cleared up a lot of confusion,Mr.I'm Confusing.

darkness is something that can be seen, as we can point it out and say "damn thats dark" and stuff. other material such as black matter and black holes, have not been "identified" so they dont exist according to the scientist. well, altohugh they are called "black", u can buy black colored paper at wallmart, but not "God" colored paper. and we can feel the black, if it was ink, and taste it, if we were retards.
my point is, black is a color, a variation in the color spectrum, like red or blue.

You're stupid and completely missed the point of what Alive was trying to say.

Black =/= Darkness.

Darkness is the absence of vision whatsoever, genius. Darkness is what you see when you can't see. The color black isn't "darkness". We can see black because of the part of the color spectrum it reflects. If the color black was darkness, then how come I can see a black piece of paper in broad daylight?

And God isn't a color. That was a stupid argument.

apparntly, u guys no a lot more about this than i do. anyways, thanks for pointing that out to me.

Or more specifically, the fact that none of it is reflected.

Although I'm pretty sure an "absolute darkness" is possible.

In a mountain..
Abyss of the Ocean..

yes, but one question i have is why does darkness look blaack? why not any other color? im not good at this...

Light creates color, darkness is the absence of light. Tie the two together.

Colour is light reflected from an object and into your eyes. The colour you see depends on which frequencies of light the object you are looking at is able to reflect, as well as which frequencies you are able to pick up with your eyes. If the object does not reflect any light at all, you see black. This is why many people do not accept black as a colour, and you could argue that it instead is sort of an "Anti-colour."

thanks for pointing that out to me. if ur blind, do u seee darkness, or blackness?

Darkness. Black is the chromatic characteristic of a pigment that doesn't reflect any color in the spectrum, while darkness is the absence of light, so since you can't see any light if you are blind, you are seeing darkness.
