Plants directly absorb light as well as drawing food and moisture through their roots and dissipating it through their leaves.
Rocks absorb heat and attract dust particles, dissipating nuclear energy over aeons of time.
All life would cease.

The light would become dark-l ight, unobserved and unobservable Opinion Letters, New Scientist Magazine 2 1st April 2001. By Fax and Email. These phenomena may or may not be found to exist.
