Eyes and light

you mean true total darkness, but it’s at least common, I don’t think a deep cave or a mine is total darkness.

No insult, OP, but I’m not sure if you’re even being serious. Do you literally not know why the eyes cannot see things when the eyelids are closed? That’s like asking, “Why can’t I put food in my mouth when my lips are closed?”

I’m being serious, sometimes, I’m just in the know.

I closed my eyes just now and saw a very-much-not-dark color – the after-image of the bright screen I was looking t. It persisted for some while.

*at It happens sometimes, I just closed my eyes just now and I saw a dark color.

I wonder where you think the light might come from. The only light you have is what you take with you. Turn it off and that is it. Dark. Total dark.

Okay, it’s total dark when you turn the flashlight off in a deep cave or a mine.

Since you’re not asking a question, I’m not sure what the purpose of this thread is. Despite the name, this is not a message board for random pot-induced musings.
