Haha good point!
So I contain light in my hypothetical pot. There is light inside it, but I won't be able to see it. So essentially when I look at my hypothetical pot it will be pitch black even though there is light inside it because no light can escape it.
What if this is what black holes are? What it black holes are like my hypothetical pot..? The light is there - it just can't escape it.
So I learned something interesting today.. Darkness isn't necessarily absence of photons.. Darkness can also be trapped photons?
