A friend said he saw something on CNN about a recent discovery at bell labs. That a light source, instead of propagating radiant energy actually sucks up darkness. I had to laugh, so here I am asking the pros. Personally, I say nonsense.

The onus is not on you or us to debunk- it's on your friend to come up with a reliable source or evidence for his claims.

However, people here can and will confirm that the story is inconsistent with what we know about light.
