minus-squarebutton_masher@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 month agoRadiation is vibration which is subject to destructive interference which means there will always be some dark spots, relatively speaking. Unless God just had a single source with absolutely no barriers or observers. I can see why that God would get bored and invent some drama 😆
