well you go verify that the flashlight light Todd shines at it hits it.
We don't have to use flashlights. We can use observations of binary star pairs.
When a cooler binary star is eclipsed by a warmer star, relative to earth, we do not see the eclipsed star shining through the star in front of it.
That means one of these options has to be true.
A. The photons from the cooler star are absorbed by the warmer star.
B. The cooler star, possessing great intelligence, refuses to radiate in the direction of the hotter star.
C. The cooler star does radiate towards the warmer star, but the photons then vanish into a magical mystery dimension, being that they're exempt from conservation of energy.
"A" is the option chosen by sane people.
Which option do you choose? If you have a different option, please explain it to everyone, in detail.
