Creating Darkness - The Nature of Absence

What is darkness? Is it just the absence of light, or is it an independent existence which expresses itself outside of light. Why does the Maharsha say it is heresy to say Hashem didn't create darkness? Why is this question relavant?Join Jewish Thoughflow in another fascinating episode, where we do a deep dive into the nature of darkness, the difference between theory and Torah, and the distinction between absence and nothing. More than just a fun mental exercise, understanding this will help one comprehend Yichud Hashem and even has interesting Halachik ramifications!
