light damages buildings!?
I just heard an explanation for banning camera picture taking of World Heritage Sites by an official on TV: When asked about it he rhetorically replied, "Do you know how much one camera flash damages the 400 years old tiles?".
Its not unthinkable that light could interact with and damage some material but could it be to an extent that is worth even considering? I couldn't find any such explanation on the internet.
This guy is no scientist or engineer and frequently makes stupid statements with no basis, regarding all fields of knowledge known to man; so I had to ask :D
