I believe space looks black because we don’t have the tools to see how much light is really there or ignored as noise.

Space is fake and gay. I read it on the intranets….

Space looks blue during the day. Explain that, my nigger.

Light is just redshifted as fuck, it's in the microwave domain now and we call it the "Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation" which shines homogeneously and anisotropically. Of course, there's no evolutionary advantage for our eyes to detect microwave or you'd get information overload.

I just googled this for you. It's called Olbers' Paradox.

Current agreed explanation is that because the universe is expanding not all the light has gotten here yet.

Light travels at a constant so the further away something becomes, the longer it will take for it's light to get here. For some maybe never.

Personally I don't believe the universe is expanding. Seems more likely time runs at different rates.

Expanding or not, light should be coming in all wavelengths from all light sources in all directions.

Look at the cmb. That's the light.
