Most of us already know that darkness is the absence of light, and that light travels at the fastest speed possible for a physical object. So, what does this mean? In short, it means that, the moment that light leaves, darkness returns. In this respect, darkness has the same speed as light. However, in some instances, darkness actually moves faster than light.

Vsauce host Michael Stevens explores the speed of dark. In the video, Stevens explains the somewhat complicated reasoning behind why shadows can arguably “break” the speed of light.
