  1. How come flash light beams don't have shadows. Ie; Walk around a well lit parking lot (Walmart) with a flash light. You'll see your shadow and the flashlights. Not the beams though. I meant I get it. No real substance there but do it. Its neat.

  2. I think it's simple as you'd expect, the flame itself is a light source so how could it create a shadow of himself unless there is even brighter light behind the flame

  3. Bro the reason it's doesn’t cast a shadow is because it literally emits light. Even if it were a solid if it emits light it won't cast a shadow does the sun cast a shadow? No! You know why? Cause it emits light!
