same as the speed of light, it would have to be else it couldn't keep up and when somebody turned out the lights there would a little gap of nothing while you waited for the dark to come along.

Time for lunch break, yaay.

So what have we got?

This one looks interesting.

But I don't know the answer. Chuck's idea sounds plausible.

The speed of darkness is infinite. The shadow of the moon moves arcoss the face of the earth at infinte speed as it leaves the earth at the end of an eclipse.

Darkness can travel faster than light because darkness has no mass. Anything with non zero rest mass becomes infinitely heavy at the speed of light.

So fast that you cannot see it.

There's no need to speculate.

There is no speed, because it is nothing.

Darkness is simply the absence of light.

Nothing there to measure, therefore no speed.

I like Chuck's reasoning, but I think fo3nix is right.

Dark is simply light travelling backwards! That is why black holes are...... err, dark coloured :-)
