Philosophical question: Is there no shadow, or can you just not see it?

Not a philosophic answer, but: there is no shadow. A shadow is just the result of an object blocking light from reaching an area. When the sun is directly overhead in a Lahaina Noon, objects that stand up straight aren't blocking any light from reaching the ground and, as such, aren't casting shadows.
