Can a Bulb Produce Darkness Instead of Light?

Let us start with the basics!

“Let’s list some “realistic” facts about our bulb:

- Darkness is just the absence of light.

- Humans only perceive certain wavelengths.

- Humans perceive light if the photon hits the cornea.

So this bulb accomplishes at least one of the following tasks:

- Absorb the light.

- Change the wavelengths of the visible spectrum.

- Change the direction of the light that’s supposed to hit the cornea.” — Eduardo Acosta

A “darkness bulb” could be a device that is capable of absorbing or blocking all forms of light, creating a region of complete darkness.

OR

It could be a device that generates a field that cancels out or disrupts the light emitted by other sources. This could be achieved using a device that generates a strong electromagnetic field or a plasma field that interacts with the light waves in a way that cancels out or distorts their structure.

The Black Hole Theory

Black holes are extremely dense, massive objects that are so massive that they generate a gravitational field so strong that nothing, including light, can escape from them. In summary, it absorbs light and is able to change the trajectory of light.

So, a “darkness bulb” that is based on the principles of a black hole could potentially absorb or block all forms of light by creating a region of space around it that is so strongly gravitationally distorted that light cannot pass through it.

Using this theory, a “darkness bulb” could be achieved using a material that is highly absorbent of light, such as a black hole, or by using a device that generates a gravitational field strong enough to deflect the light away from a specific region.

The Wavelength Theory

When light waves encounter a substance or field that is capable of scattering or absorbing them, they can be deflected or absorbed, which can create the appearance of darkness. In summary, it changes the direction of the light that is supposed to hit your eye.

Here, the darkness works in two ways: either you go for the super fancy “wave” bulb that transforms light wavelengths into pure darkness, or you opt for the more low-key glass bulb that just messes with the light as it passes through. Now, if you go for the first one, you’re going to end up with a true “darkness bulb” — like, total darkness. But if you go for the second option, you’re basically just going to end up with a super advanced form of camouflage. So, the question is, do you want to be invisible or do you want to be engulfed in darkness?

I think I prefer the wavelength bulb, the invincibility one to be precise. It would be fun to be able to do an experiment on all of these.
