    The speed of dark would be the speed of the universe’s expansion

    The universe is 92 billion light years across, divided by it’s age, 13.77 billion years.. so the speed of dark over history is 6.68 times the speed of light

    What a coincidence! The Fortune Teller over at Arcamax asked the same question! https://www.arcamax.com/thefunnies/thefortuneteller

    I think we have found the question that is the exception to the rule.

    A friend told me the speed of dark must be greater than the speed of light because when the light gets there the dark is already waiting.

    “There is no such thing as a stupid question.”…….Whoever said that never attended a town meeting, an employee meeting, or just about any type of meeting where anyone gets to ask questions.

    Zero. Dark never moves. The light moves through it.

    Tried measuring it once but every time I turned the light off I couldn´t see the speedometer.

    Whenever I hear, “There’s no such thing as a stupid question,” I scan the room and guess which person subconsciously thought, “Challenge accepted.”

    Just a little slower than Muhammed Ali.

    Ali is noted to have said “I’m so fast that last night I turned off the light switch in my hotel room and was in bed before the room was dark.”

    As dark disappears as fast as light appears, then the speed of dark is about 186,282 miles per second…

    The Click and Clack brothers discussed this several years back, another example of the depth of Car Talk!

    How about some love/credit to Steven Wright who came up with that joke over two decades ago?

    That’s a good question, Rory! Dark disappears at the speed of light appearing. IMHO
