Well I would say faster than light, since God said as well as the good book "1st there was darkness and light was created" I would think that if darkness was always there in existence, (light was created) - then dark would be traveling faster than light.
Without light, darkness is a constant, therefore space/our Universe is made up of all dark matter...
Does the speed of light travel at the speed it does because of the rate of time? Well in another thread I suggested that the rate of time is related to the rate of change of scale.
Therefore I think the rate of time we experience is due to rate that the universe is expanding.
The reason that the universe is expanding is due to what is called dark energy. I have also suggested in another thread that dark energy could be the same as the electromagnetic force. So if electromagnetic forces are this dark energy then electromagnetic forces are responsible for the expansion rate of the universe.
So electromagnetic waves propergate at the speed that the universe is expanding, and because the universe is expanding towards higher scales we have our sense of time.
So I think the speed of light travels at speed it does because it is related to rate of change in scale that the universe expands at, which is itself related to the rate of time that we experience.

Darkness is the absence of light, but the speed of dark is the same as the seep of light just no light. Even in space witch is dark light travels on a nano level. So the speed of dark is just a reference to the speed of light less the color of the spectrum.
Dark = Light - Speed

theres no way to scientifically tell since we cant see in the dark... but if we turn on the light to see... then its just the speed of light...
so d = speed of dark, l = the light we turn on, and s = the speed of light
d + l = s now subtract the light from both sides
d = l - s
From these we can assume that the speed of dark is the same as the speed of light, just minus the light itself.

The same as the speed of light. Darkness is the absense of light, so as fast as that light can move the other way is the "speed of darkness."

The dark is the absence of the movement of light. Therefore, dark has no speed and is merely a void without light. It does not move.

First of all Darkness can only been seen by eyes. As you should know light goes to your eyes and that is why you can see. If there is no light going into your eyes than you will see nothing(darkness). Therfore darkness has no speed its just that no light is making it to your eyes.

darkness is the absence of light. So, darkness could be considered to "travel" at the same speed as light.

There is no speed of dark. Darkness doesn't travel, it is just the absence of light.

Dark is the recession of light. It's still the speed of light.

Dark is the absence of light. It is nothing. Therefore it has no speed.
