text: if light travels at 299,792,458 meters/sec, then how fast does dark travels? i am just curious about it and i think it was an interesting question. =d "dark" is an example of a "privative" they are names that we call the absence of things like "death" - the absence of life "cold" - the absence of heat. human culture often reifies privatives (makes them seem real) but the notions described by them do not represent real things, thus, they can't travel.
