The Speed of Light
-
Light travels at approximately 299,792 kilometers per second (186,282 miles per second) in a vacuum. This is the fastest speed at which any known physical phenomenon can travel, according to Einstein’s theory of relativity.
The Concept of “Dark”
-
Darkness isn’t something that moves or has speed. It’s just the absence of light. When light is removed from a space, darkness “appears” instantaneously, but this isn’t because darkness is traveling—it’s because light is no longer present.
Fun Analogy
Imagine turning off a light in a room. The room becomes dark immediately, not because darkness “moves in,” but because the light is no longer there to illuminate the space. So, in a way, darkness isn’t faster—it’s just the result of light being removed.
Conclusion
Light has a defined speed, while darkness doesn’t “move” at all. So, light is faster—or more accurately, darkness isn’t even in the race! 😊
