Silly question. Technically, the speed of darkness is the speed of light. If you shoot a photon the space where it occupies is light and the point directly behind it is dark. The darkness is traveling as fast as the light.

Actually pretty neato question, I had to think a few seconds on it. We think we know the speed of light, and light is a particle beam, we think. ok lets say it is an agreed science, we know that light travels at x speed, there fore if darkness is the opposite of light, it has the reverse of the speed of light but could be accelerated as it has no particles that we are aware of.
If space is moving faster than light, and by our current understanding it has to be if it is expanding, then the speed of darkness is an unknown or as yet undiscovered equation.
I use to think it was the opposite of Light,or Light Reversed = darkness. But that is incorrect. Anti Matter is theorized to belong in or near the Event Horizon, and this Anti Matter does have Gravitational Effect so it must have a reverse of Substance, as we understand it.
As nothing can escape an Event Horizon or Black Hole this means that the bent light is being curved by the faster darkness.
This is the Whoops Theory that has only been so far rumored as to by Einstein. Nobody actually knows if Einstein actually named his last theory.
But then again, I am making up this rather lengthy answer as I go along because its fun!

The phrase "speed of light" actually should have been coined "the speed of the electromagnetic spectrum" . Darkness should then be "the absence of EMS. And there is no place in the universe that is devoid of EMS. Darkness, then refer to the inability of man to sense all EMS. Being blind does not mean the absence of light.

Good Question!
I'll look into that and get back to you!
Do you want the exact speed? Whould an estimate be OK?
