the shadow's intensity is determined by the distance of the light source and object from the screen/wall :D couldn't agree with you xD

Isn't it still true that if the distance from the source and the canvas for the shadow remain constant, but the intensity of the light is modified, the opaqueness of the shadow will be affected accordingly? I mean, I could have included that in the post, but I didn't think anybody would call me out on being technical.

It also depends on the type of light-source and the surroundings of the object casting the shadow. An extremely bright light emanating photons in all directions with somewhat reflective surfaces nearby the shadow-casting object will result in light bouncing off of the surfaces and landing behind the object. Regardless, no. Darkness is the absence of light, and therefore only has a set limit it can reach. However, due to our eye's mechanism of opening or closing the pupils depending on the amount of light, a shadow cast by a bright light will seem darker than a shadow cast by a dim light. The shadow is always the same brightness, however it looks darker due to the fact that our eyes let in less light in the presence of a bright light.

It seems like all my posts become some sort of scientific debate with a famous user... I don't disagree, cause we're all using science and facts, but this is a strange pattern.

I'm very flattered you consider me a famous user!

Of course you are! You back up your argument with facts, which is an A+ move, too. I'm sure a lot of people recognize your username.

The second sentence is absolutely unnecessary.

The word absolutely there is unnecessary.

Not really. And if you post "The brightest lights cast the darkest shadows," I'm pretty sure people will pick up on the double meaning.

I prefer ending my posts traditionally, and felt like the "amirite" was too casual to slip in right after something poetic.
