OK, so what's the speed of dark?

Answer 1

10 million quintillion angstroms an hour.

Answer 2

Darkness is simply the lack of light, therefore the concept of darkness is only relative to it's surroundings. Since darkness is only the lack of something that can be measured darkness has no speed possible.

Now on the flip=side of the answer. Inside a can of fruit it is dark the fruit, and the liquid is also dark. If you throw the can dark inside is now moving at what ever speed the can is going.

Answer 3

A very simple question. Dark is light at a non-visible frequency. The speed of dark is the same as the speed of light.

Answer 4

Darkness is faster than light. We know this because when light travels somewhere, it displaces the dark. Therefore, the dark must get there before the light.

Darkness is also heavier than light. Anyone who has ever gone scuba diving knows this. Up near the surface, it's light; the deeper you go, the darker it gets. This is because the heavier darkness sinks to the bottom, and the light floats to the top. (It weighs less, that's why it's called "light". Duh.)

Notice that darkess is both faster and heavier than light. This proves what the theory of Relativity predicts, that mass increases the faster you go.

Why didn't Madonna sing "faster than a ray of dark"?

Answer 5

The old professor says: Great answers, so far. To be very technical about it, unlike light, dark cannot be measured. In physics, quanta or quantum (singular) refers to something that is measurable...a quantity. Light is a quantum particle because we can measure it...even though we don't know exactly what it is. Since we can't get any measurable information about dark...we are literally left in the dark! Philosophically speaking, if you can't see it, measure it, or get any data about it, it doesn't exist. I hope that sheds some light on your question.

P.S.: Love the English language expert who has such a limited knowlege of the vocabulary he/she belittles others. A quick check of Webster's Dictonary will give you the definition of the ADJECTIVE "dark", the NOUN "dark", and the VERB "dark".

Answer 6

What a bunch of useless answers.

Your problem is your English grammar. Dark is an adjective. Yes, it is opposite of light - THE ADJECTIVE.

But there is no noun - DARK.

When we talk of the speed of light, we are talking about the speed of a thing - A NOUN.

So, your question is quite meaningless, as there is no such thing as DARK.

You need to be more attentive in English class, then you won't make a fool of yourself on the internet.

Answer 7

You can't say "the speed of dark", because dark does not refer to any type of matter or energy. It just means absence of light. Dark doesn't move because it just doesn't exist. So there.

Answer 8

I guess it would have to be the same as the speed of light. Because light leaves as fast as it gets there.

Answer 9

It is -186,000 miles per second.

Answer 10

Infinity, like a black hole it goes on forever...
