    some Dude/dess once said "i am the light" and then left it for all humans to try to understand.
    Later some other dude(dess) said " get out of my shadow" at which - he /she beat the shit out of you n order to move.
    Light is the essence of our existence (yes that means you too webworld)

    btw enoughfakefiles did your present thought relate to recent viewing of mibII ?

    The question didn't relate to it's perception, it related to the light itself.

    Where does the light go, not how is it then perceived.
    Assuming the room is perfectly sealed. I should say impossible to achieve, otherwise you would not be able to light the room. The the room will remain lit until it is absorbed by the light source. At the speed of light I should not imagine that would take long.

    The light must all stay in the room, it's obvious.

    the source of the light has to be constant
    if the light flashes /as you say bigboab) for a mere second it will last a mere secend depending on the distance of the walls +%&¤#=to the eye it will always be a mere second
    sound probably has the same effect but prpably lasts longer due to vibrations (wall dependency)
    hence solution equals = plug ipod in ear sockets and always wear shades for maximum effect.

    Oh FFS

    Right

    Light is either a particle or a wave (energy), it is known as the duality of light.

    If it is a particle and the room is perfectly sealed then it cannot leave the room. Remember we are discussing a hypothetical here, where the room is perfectly sealed.

    If it is a wave then it bumps into a physical object, most of the energy is absorbed by the particles it hits, we see what is reflected. So something red absorbs all of the energy except the red. Which is then reflected away and absorbed elsewhere.

    The room becomes dark, but all of the light is still there, either as particles or as energy.

    Which part of that is hard to understand.
