Or maybe something like what's being investigated for greenhouses on Mars (which gets less than half the sunlight that Earth receives) using mirrors and optical fiber cables to redirect light.
- dicroce 6y agoYes! I wonder if there is a way to make a light battery? :)
- e_y_ 6y agoLight has a tendency to zoom off at, well, the speed of light, and colliding with objects causes it to lose energy. There have been some experiments in slowing down or "stopping" light although they involve some elaborate setups that almost certainly use more energy to trap the light than you'd get from storing it. You could also store it in or orbiting in a black hole, but good luck getting it back in its original form! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photon_sphere https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photon_sphere
