How are we defining "winning"?If we're talking about eliminating one or the other altogether, then lets say you hypothetically managed to turn off or cover all light sources in the universe. What would be left? Nothing i.e. darkness. Science says this is actually what will happen one day, when all the stars go out. But if we're talking about winning as in taking up space and you conceptualize darkness as a material thing, then light and dark mostly coexist. Where there's a light and an object, there will be a dark shadow cast by that object. However, you can add another light on that side. You can theoretically drown out the dark even in a closed box or deep cavern by adding another light bulb or a beam of light. On the other hand there's no such thing as a darkness emitter (outside of fiction, obvs). So "darkness" itself has no offensive power, it cannot truly conquer over light but it'll be there when the light is gone.
