My theory on the Speed of Dark is this: it must be less than the speed of Light. Say you have two rooms, one in complete darkness, and one brightly lit. You open a door between the two rooms, and the light streams into the dark room, but the dark doesn't stream into the lit one. So therefore the velocity of dark < velocity of light. Q.E.D.

Sounds good at least! [img]graemlins/laugh2.gif[/img]
True, dark dosent move into the lit room, BUT it does retreat from the dark room, leaving light. Since you cant have a state of non-light, non-dark, it must be concurrent with the approaching light. Therefore the speed of dark is equal to that of light.
