Light, as we know it, is a rush of photons. As the photons go along, they would leave a darkness behind the last photon that would follow along at the speed of light.
Since darkness is the absence of light (light would be something like the force acting upon or going through the dark), then by itself, dark has no speed. It just is.

Since dark is the absence of light, if you switch off a flashlight, the last part of the light beam leaves the flashlight at the speed of light, leaving darkness behind. Since the dark is appearing just behind the fleeing light, in a way, you could say that the dark is moving away from the flashlight at the speed of light.

Dark has no speed. It is determined by light or the lack of it.

Is the light is moving thru the dark, I believe the dark is a bit faster than the light. Or not?

"Dark" has no speed - like other answers, it is simply the absence of light.

Well, since dark is the opposite of light, then the speed of dark is... 186,000 miles per second IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION!

An hour earlier than last week, thanks to Ben Franklin and his bright idea about daylight savings time.
