But, what about the Dark Sucker Theory?

ie:

For years, it has been believed that electric bulbs emit light,
but recent information has proved otherwise. Electric bulbs don't
emit light; they suck dark. Thus, we call these bulbs Dark Suckers.

The Dark Sucker Theory and the existence of dark suckers prove that dark has mass and is heavier than light.

First, the basis of the Dark Sucker Theory is that electric bulbs
suck dark. For example, take the Dark Sucker in the room you are in. There is much less dark right next to it than there is elsewhere. The larger the Dark Sucker, the greater its capacity to suck dark. Dark Suckers in the parking lot have a much greater capacity to suck dark than the ones in this room.

So with all things, Dark Suckers don't last forever. Once they are full of dark, they can no longer suck. This is proven by the dark spot on a full Dark Sucker. The dark which has been absorbed is then transmitted by pylons along to power plants where the machinery uses fossil fuel to destroy it.

A candle is a primitive Dark Sucker. A new candle has a white wick. You can see that after the first use, the wick turns black, representing all the dark that has been sucked into it. If you put a pencil next to the wick of an operating candle, it will turn black. This is because it got in the way of the dark flowing into the candle. One of the disadvantages of these primitive Dark Suckers is their limited range.

There are also portable Dark Suckers. In these, the bulbs can't
handle all the dark by themselves and must be aided by a Dark Storage Unit. When the Dark Storage Unit is full, it must be either emptied or replaced before the portable Dark Sucker can operate again.

Dark has mass. When dark goes into a Dark Sucker, friction from the mass generates heat. Thus, it is not wise to touch an operating Dark Sucker. Candles present a special problem as the mass must travel into a solid wick instead of through clear glass. This generates a great amount of heat and therefore it's not wise to touch an operating candle. This is easily proven for lightbulbs too. When you compress a gas, it gets hot, right? So the light bulb gets hot because of all the dark being squished into the wires.

Also, dark is heavier than light. If you were to swim just below
the surface of the lake, you would see a lot of light. If you were to slowly swim deeper and deeper, you would notice it getting darker and darker. When you get really deep, you would be in total darkness. This is because the heavier dark sinks to the bottom of the lake and the lighter light floats at the top. The is why it is called light.

Finally, we must prove that dark is faster than light. If you were to stand in a lit room in front of a closed, dark closet, and slowly opened the closet door, you would see the light slowly enter the closet. But since dark is so fast, you would not be able to see the dark leave the closet. So next time you see an electric bulb, remember that it is not a light emitter but a Dark Sucker.

Opera Nut

Darth, actually the Sun and all stars operate by nuclear fusion -- they fuse hydrogen atoms at incredibly high temps into helium.
There is probably nothing but the plasma state of matter there.


Candles are lit by simple combustion/oxidation.


Lunachick, there are other forms of gravity (grabity) besides Dark Suck.

The most common one is Bed Suck. If you walk by a bed while you are tired, the force field of the bed will suck you in for a nap.
Sofas also emit this field, especially on evenings and weekends.

One forcefield I am subject to while in my car is Bookstore Suck. Driving by a bookstore, I am compelled to turn into the parking lot and go in the store. This also applies to chains that sell CDs, DVDs and such.

My mother was a packrat. Therefore, her house is a black hole. It sucks in junk, old clothes and such, and nothing comes out except trash. This also applied to her purse. I believe the event horizon around the house is the city limits of the dinky town the house is in.

I've experienced Dark Suck,and Bed Suck.

Not Bookstore Suck,though.Have you ever tried to find an isolated spot in a bookstore?
