              if you wen over 6 weeks (42 days) you would become blind because your eyes need light to reflect off of other items so your eyes would take in all of the light they can but eventually you would go blind (I think)

                    Lol. Imagine the issues this starts with people who use solar energy to like heat their houses and stuff-- wouldn't wanna be them right now.
