Where does the Light Go when you Turn the Switch Off?
#10
RE: Where does the Light Go when you Turn the Switch Off?
It's not that the light disappears. It is simply blocked by something and gets absorbed by its blockade.
P.S atoms aren't immortal they decay into different isotopes which eventually leads to them turning into energy. And due to red-shift (light from far away stars increasing wavelength [towards red and beyond]) energy can also be lost. And also since there are so many atoms one of them is bound to become energy and dissipate into nothing.
Yeah, ik it breaks the law of the conservation of matter and energy but what can I do?
