The Speed Of Dark

Most of us already know that darkness is the absence of light, and that light travels at the fastest speed possible for a physical object. So, what does this mean? In short, it means that, the moment that light leaves, darkness returns. In this respect, darkness has the same speed as light. However, in some instances, darkness actually moves faster than light.

How is this possible? What is the highest possible speed of darkness? This explanation will blow your mind.

Vsauce host Michael Stevens explores the speed of dark. In the video, Stevens explains the somewhat complicated reasoning behind why shadows can arguably “break” the speed of light.

Random Riddle: 2-19-2013

He went to bed in the daytime, it wasn't dark
Hold your mouse over for the answer.
Mr. Whimpy was terrified of the dark. When he went to bed, he would flip off the light switch on the far wall, then tear across the room to bed, 10 feet away. However, the other day, he flipped the switch, walked slowly to his bed, and climbed in before the room went dark. He only used his finger to switch off the light.

How did he manage this brave feat?
