| Sep 3, 2022 at 15:17 | comment | added | Amadeus | @PlanetJuice I'm not sure what you mean by "off track". If you want it to be dark in a region, you exclude visible light. But visible light carries energy, you need to either move that energy or convert it into something else. You might convert it into an electron or something, or you can do what real black matter does; it absorbs a visible frequency photon at one frequency and converts that into particulate vibration (heat). I am suggest the same, your magic paper-thin shield absorbs visible frequency photons and converts them into vibration energy for air molecules (heat). | |

| Sep 3, 2022 at 4:56 | comment | added | Barbaud Julien | you do not have to dissipate energy for down conversion. you can simply emit two photons of lower energy for one of higher energy. i invite you to google photonic down conversion. | |

Added an explanation due to a valid critical comment by @BarbaudJulen.

| Sep 2, 2022 at 12:55 | comment | added | Amadeus | @BarbaudJulien No, I am not. If we change the frequency of visible light to a lower frequency, the lower frequency has less energy. If we are not doing energy to matter conversion, then the energy has to go somewhere. It can go into warming atmospheric molecules at the point of the conversion. That would be a "shell" of where the effect takes place. How, exactly, this is done is unexplained magic; but it a plausible physical consequence of changing the EM wave length. I will edit and add this explanation to my answer. | |

You might be confusing refraction with photonic up/down conversion. The latter is more is more involved (and useless in this case because it always start with absorption, which is enough for your purposes; having an oaque layer all around does make your sphere dark). Very warm air does not make things look darker | |
