Rosbjerg Posted April 4, 2005 Posted April 4, 2005 The sky technically should look like nothing... Now I have another question for you. What would nothing look like? It couldn't be black, because that would be something. It couldn't be white, because White is a combination of everything (all the light rays)... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> well now you are thinking in the lines that what you see is what is there .. that's wrong .. white is an interpretation of what you see .. and black is an interpretation of seeing nothing! so naturally nothing would be black! Fortune favors the bald.
The Great Phantom Posted April 4, 2005 Posted April 4, 2005 The color black is formed by all light being absorbed, so it is the brains interpretation of seeing nothing, true. But, I should hope that most people have learned that the Human brain is usually wrong (unlike our Plutonian higher intellect ). Nothing wouldn't suck in everything. It wouldn't reflect everything, either. It wouldn't effect light at all, if it was truely nothing at all. Just pointing that out.

Rosbjerg Posted April 4, 2005 Posted April 4, 2005 well since colours are based on how light is reflected (or not reflected), nothing, which would also be total absence of light, would be black .. Fortune favors the bald.
The Dark Something or other Posted April 4, 2005 Posted April 4, 2005 Great Phantom, you're talking pseudo-logick.
Midnight Hawk Posted April 4, 2005 Posted April 4, 2005 I think nothing would look like glass...only without the glass.
The Dark Something or other Posted April 4, 2005 Posted April 4, 2005 Stop trying to be deep, yoo two, you ain't PULLING IT OFF *titter* If the sky had no colour, we'ld just see the blackness of space like one does from the moon.
Diamond Posted April 5, 2005 Posted April 5, 2005 well since colours are based on how light is reflected (or not reflected), nothing, which would also be total absence of light, would be black .. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The space is black, you don't get reflection from empty space. Powdered carbon reflects only 2% of light, therefore it is close to absolute black (answers.com).
LadyCrimson Posted April 5, 2005 Posted April 5, 2005 The sky in my world is an off-white with a rough speckled texture to it...oh wait, that's the ceiling... “Things are as they are. Looking out into the universe at night, we make no comparisons between right and wrong stars, nor between well and badly arranged constellations.” – Alan Watts
