Almost as fast as the speed of PLONK

Due to quantum fluctuations, there is no "dark."

If we ignore quantum fluctuations, however, and posit a "dark," then
the speed of dark is dependent in part on how quickly a photon source
may be extinguished. When an incandescent light bulb is switched off,
e.g., the speed of dark depends on the length of time it takes for the
tungsten filament to cool to the point where it no longer emits
photons. I have not performed this measurement, but it wouldn't seem
difficult to do. Over short distances -- one's living room, e.g., the
speed of dark is, for practical purposes, dependent entirely on the
time it takes the filament to cool.

If we posit that the incandescent light bulb is shining in a perfect
vacuum, the darkness will "travel" from the extinguished filament at
299,792,458 km/sec.

I think dark is faster.

The answer from a few years ago---

Most people know what the speed of light is (186kmps.) I have heard so
many opinions about the speed of dark since I brought it up at work.
Think about it.Clear Sky's, Donnie

For years it has been believed that electric bulbs emitted light.
However, recent information from Bell Labs has proven otherwise.
Electric
bulbs don't emit light, they suck dark. Thus they now call these bulbs
dark
suckers. The dark sucker theory, according to a Bell Labs
spokesperson,
proves the existence of dark, that dark has mass heavier than that of
light,
and that dark is faster than light. The basis of the dark sucker
theory is
that electric bulbs suck dark. Take for example, the dark suckers in
the
room where you are. There is less dark right next to them than there
is
elsewhere. The larger the dark sucker, the greater its capacity to
suck
dark. Dark suckers in a parking lot have a much greater capacity than
the
ones in this room. As with all things, dark suckers don't last
forever.
Once they are full of dark, they can no longer suck. This is proven by
the
black spot on a full dark sucker.
A candle is a primitive dark sucker. A new candle has a white wick.
You will notice that after the first use, the wick turns black,
representing
all the dark which has been sucked into it. If you hold a pencil next
to the
wick of an operating candle, the tip will turn black because it got in
the
path of the dark flowing into the candle. Unfortunately, these
primitive
dark suckers have a very limited range. There are also portable dark
suckers. The bulbs in these can't handle all of the dark by
themselves, and
must be aided by a dark storage unit. When the dark storage unit is
full, it
must be either emptied or replaced before the portable dark sucker can
operate again.
Dark has mass. When dark goes into a dark sucker, friction from this
mass generates heat. Thus it is not wise to touch an operating dark
sucker.
Candles present a special problem, as the dark must travel in the solid
wick
instead of through glass. This generates a great amount of heat. Thus
it
can be very dangerous to touch an operating candle. Dark is also
heavier
than light. If you swim deeper and deeper, you notice it gets slowly
darker
and darker. When you reach a depth of approximately fifty feet, you
are in
total darkness. This is because the heavier dark sinks to the bottom
of the
lake and the lighter dark floats to the top. The immense power of dark
can
be utilized to mans advantage. We can collect the dark that has
settled to
the bottom of lakes and push it through turbines, which generate
electricity
and help push it to the ocean where it may be safely stored. Prior to
turbines, it was much more difficult to get dark from the rivers and
lakes to
the ocean.
The Indians recognized this problem, and tried to solve it. When on
a river in a canoe travelling in the same direction as the flow of the
dark,
they paddled slowly, so as not to stop the flow of dark, but when they
traveled against the flow of dark, they paddled quickly so as to help
push
the dark along its way.
Finally, we must prove that dark is faster than light. If you were
to stand in an illuminated room in front of a closed, dark closet, then

slowly open the closet door, you would see the light slowly enter the
closet,
but since the dark is so fast, you would not be able to see the dark
leave
the closet. In conclusion, Bell Labs stated that dark suckers make all
our
lives much easier. So the next time you look at an electric bulb
remember
that it is indeed a dark sucker.

Like the expanding spiral of "darkness" around an eclipsing binary - should soon exceed lightspeed !
