speed of dark

Is there such a thing as the speed of dark? I have looked it up on line with mixed results and am now curious as to what normal people like us think

Ok I will take a big guess.

Dark is the absence of light so wouldn't Dark = the speed of light? This is because when light leaves the dark enters so both are same speed.

Can you measure that what you do not see? If you can't see darkness, how can you measure it's speed?

Think of it as a South Pacific Breakfast with a Southern lunch twist!

i dont think the speed of dark works. Light being composed of photons is the reason that we see objects, colors and textures. So wouldn't dark just be state of having no light. Therefore "dark" as we call it, is always preset, just manipulated in the presence of light. My guess would be that the speed of dark is nothing as it is a neautral state that exists only when light is not present.

Wow, very scientific.
I think your right. My brain just grew a wrinkle

Agreed. Dark has niether particles or wavelength, so its a neutral state which light can disrupt.

*BUMP* Ouch.. will someone turn on a light!

Now a tree falls in the forest....

Ok next one.

If an airplane is flying over New Mexico and lands on a railroad track, where a homeless person then takes all of the money from the people in the plane. How many pancakes does it take to fill up a dog house??

how tall is the homeless person?

How can it be Blue? First of all, a plane could never land on a railroad track. Crash, maybe, but not land. So that's the red herring of the story. We need to focus on the homeless man. Since there were no people/plane to speak of, he had a bunch of money. He got it when he robbed the liquor store and was stumbling along the tracks while drinking his MD 20/20 (peach for you inquiring minds). Anyway, the apartments back up to the tracks and everyone knows they don't allow pets. So the dog house was definitely a stash for the homeless guy's WEED! Concentrating on this, we can clearly see that since the house was completely filled with weed you couldn't get even a single pancake inside. If you add up all the clues you come up with the only clear answer... and I'm ashamed that Hector didn't answer sooner.... The answer is:
