Kinda weird that night is the natural state of the universe

Ok

I’ll have what he is having …

Nature is absolutely fascinating. Far more fascinating than civilization. Rhythms and cycles, all perfect

Most of the universe probably resides beyond the event horizon of a black hole. In fact, it's plausible that our entire universe is inside a black hole. Think about that one, stoner.

Well, most visible mass is in stars and gasses illuminated by stars making the majority of stuff constantly lit and shadow being a small minority. So “day” could be the natural state depending on your perception.

Olber's Paradox


In astrophysics and physical cosmology, Olbers' paradox, named after the German astronomer Heinrich Wilhelm Olbers (1758–1840), also known as the "dark night sky paradox", is the argument that the darkness of the night sky conflicts with the assumption of an infinite and eternal static universe. The darkness of the night sky is one of the pieces of evidence for a dynamic universe, such as the Big Bang model. In the hypothetical case that the universe is static, homogeneous at a large scale, and populated by an infinite number of stars, then any line of sight from Earth must end at the (very bright) surface of a star and hence the night sky should be completely illuminated and very bright. This contradicts the observed darkness and non-uniformity of the night.

Or like how the light you see right now from the stars is billions of years old. So they could not even exist right this second and we’ll never know it.

I think.

So you think it'd be less weird if light and energy was everywhere and black holes provided pockets of darkness?

It is everywhere, we just can’t “see” it.

If we’re talking about energy, then it exists even in perfect vacuums and there are no dark spaces.
