I got an answer to "What is the speed of darkness?"

The speed of darkness is the same as the speed of light because light leaves as fast as it enters and when there's no light there's darkness.

Nice questions. (+3)
Posted: 2009-01-03 10:01:07 Report Reply
Actually, if we all want to get technical here, there are two theories to answer the speed of darkness question.

Darkness is the absence of light. Theoretically it is not a physical thing like light, so the laws and measurements of physical things, like kph or mph, do not apply. Light is technically made up of photons. The less photons there are, the less color there is. If there are no photons, then there are no colors, and darkness just remains. Photons move, darkness doesn't. So technically, darkness isn't a matter that can be measured. Take what my teacher in my physics class used as an example. A table is darkness. A table cloth is light. As a table cloth is placed on a table, it covers the table (thus being darkness). If you remove the table cloth (color) all that remains is the table (darkness). The table cloth (color) can move. The table (darkness) doesn't.

Another theory is what ghettoshen suggested. Because of Newtons third law, which states that everything has an equal and opposite reaction, that would mean that light and dark are essentially equals, and thus have the same speed.

Of course, these are all just theories, and no one has come alone to prove them. Now, who says American high school students aren't smart? =P

I do, because unfortunately that was vastly inaccurate. Light isn't a "physical" thing, it has no mass. Most Americans are plain stupid, probably because Physics teachers teach random philosophy as opposed to actual science. And they often seem to pretend to be more intelligent than they are. ^

Why is it that people say they "slept like a baby" when babies wake up every two hours?
they still get more sleep a day then older people..and they supposable have better sleeps in those 2 hours anyway

If the temperature is zero outside today and it's going to be twice as cold tomorrow, how cold will it be?
thats just a figure of speech...it applies to almost all temperatures just to say its going to be a lot colder...

Do married people live longer than single ones or does it only seem longer?
every human lives compared to their physical and mental lifestyle...so it depends how that person feels about being married or single..

How is it that we put man on the moon before we figured out it would be a good idea to put wheels on luggage?
because AMERICA GOT LAZIER..that was for scientific and triumphant reasons...

to see the view from the angle and to feel how high up you are...its for the adventure..
Did you ever stop and wonder......

some people do dude.. just like how only some people acually point to their wrists

Why does your Obstetrician, Gynaecologist leave the room when you get undressed if they are going to look up there anyway?
so you can get ready for it..lmao

just tests...your just thinking wrong now..thats not hard to answer..

If corn oil is made from corn, and vegetable oil is made from vegetables, then what is baby oil made from?
you dont understand the concept man... its made from w/e its made from..not babies..

If electricity comes from electrons, does morality come from morons?
again...wtf, now you just askin 'moronic' question...and the word moron may have been formed in a similarity to the word MORality..

Why do the Alphabet song and Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star have the same tune?
acually the l-m-n-o-p part of the alphabet is completely off of twinkle little star..plus that is a very basic and popular tune..

Do illiterate people get the full effect of Alphabet Soup?
illiterate doesnt mean they dont know what letters are... alphabet soup wasnt made to spell shit
Did you ever notice that when you blow in a dog's face, he gets mad at you, but when you take him on a car ride, he sticks his head out the window?

Does pushing the elevator button more than once make it arrive faster?
no

"What is the speed of darkness?"
"thats just the absence of light..so yeah.."

Look at it like this; If darkness came first, wouldn't light be the absence of darkness? And if darkness has a speed, it is exactly related to the speed of light since light has an entering and exiting speed. Therefore, the speed of darkness would logically be both the speed of darkness exiting (light entering) AND darkness entering (light exiting). :)

i got the anser to this question (If the temperature is zero outside today and it's going to be twice as cold tomorrow, how cold will it be?) first of all zero wat and if its celcius thn that is just another scale of showing the tmperature the real measurment of tempreature is kelvin wich is basically -273 dgreese celcius as zero celcius is 273 kelvin the lowest temperatre is 0 kelvin (-273 clcius but i cba workin it out but if you can be botherd thats the scale u have to work of)
btw i have a degree in mechanical engineering i know wat im talkin about

well yeah ur right it should be wat temperature will it be 2moro just stated that u couldent figure it unless u use another type of measurment of temperature witch wouldent work anyway as there will always be a zero figure u but as kelvin is the true measurment of temperature it is possiable to work it out but it will be 546 kelvin so there is no real way to answer that question as the wording is all wrong

there is no such thing as darkness or cold.
simply the absence of light or heat
you cant turn on a machine which will give out dark
to make the room your in now dark you would simply get rid of any light.

Why doesn't Tarzan have a beard?
Because he's fictional.

Why do we press harder on a remote control when we know the batteries are flat?
To see if there is but an ounce of energy left to change the channel, rather than get up; walk over to where the batteries are; put a battery in; walk back; sit down and press the button again.

Why do banks charge a fee on "insufficient funds" when they know there is not enough?
Because you are wasting their services by storing such a petty amount and thus need to be charged for the costs procured.

Why do Kamikaze pilots wear helmets?
Just in case they crash before deployment, in which case they can try again.

Why does someone believe you when you say there are four billion stars, but check when you say the paint is wet?
Because there will constantly be four billion stars and they cannot check this; whereas the paint will not always be wet and they can check this.

Whose idea was it to put an "S" in the word "lisp"?
The development of the English language through the ages didn't spare the advancement of others for those who have a speech impediment.

What is the speed of darkness?
The same as the speed of light. For light enters the 'room' as quickly as it departs.

Why is it that people say they "slept like a baby" when babies wake up every two hours?
Because babies are associated with peace and calm. By making this referance, they are conveying this point clearly.

If the temperature is zero outside today and it's going to be twice as cold tomorrow, how cold will it be?
This is to do with with how cold it feels, not how cold it is. If, on a scale of one to ten, zero feels about a four; tomorrow it'll be an eight.

Do married people live longer than single ones or does it only seem longer?
Married couples do live longer because they have a reliable life partner who (usually) does half of the chores, lightening the work load and securing longer periods of relaxation, thus descreasing stress etc.

How is it that we put man on the moon before we figured out it would be a good idea to put wheels on luggage?
Space exploration was a far more pressing matter for the various designers and engineers of the time. The amount of luggage was also considered not as copious or heavy as it is today.

Why do people pay to go up tall buildings and then put money in binoculars to look at things on the ground?
Often, they look at things in the distance which they cannot see from the ground, gaining a better view point. It also interests people to see everyday life from a different perspective and act accordingly.

Did you ever stop and wonder......
No, I'm far to busy answering these questions.

Who was the first person to look at a cow and say, "I think I’ll squeeze these pink dangly things here, and drink whatever comes out?"
The natives of Europe in the early 1st Century, discovering that their calves drank from there until an advanced age.

Who was the first person to say, "See that chicken there... I'm gonna eat the next thing that comes outta its bum."
Eggs don't come out of a chickens bum, and also they must have eaten chicken first in order to experiment in the consumption of its produce.

Why do toasters always have a setting so high that could burn the toast to a horrible crisp, which no decent human being would eat?
That is to do with the type of bread, not the toaster. Home made bread is far harder to cook and thus needs a greater heat source to toast.

Why is there a light in the fridge and not in the freezer?
Because food accessed at night is far more likely to be stored in the fridge. Not many people wake up at 2:00 am and fancy some ice cream.

Why do people point to their wrist when asking for the time, but don't point to their bum when they ask where the bathroom is?
Because toilets aren't located on your bum, whereas watches are located on your wrist.

Why does your Obstetrician, Gynaecologist leave the room when you get undressed if they are going to look up there anyway?
So you can mentally prepare your self and not feel under constant scrutiny.

Why does Goofy stand erect while Pluto remains on all fours? They're both dogs!
Again, it's fictional.

If quizzes are quizzical, what are tests?
Tests are testing (ha!).

If corn oil is made from corn, and vegetable oil is made from vegetables, then what is baby oil made from?
Various minerals processed to create an ointment that releives and hydrates the skin.

If electricity comes from electrons, does morality come from morons?
No, electricity come from the flow of electrons and the consequental friction. Morality come from our inert intuition developed through generations of evolution.

Why do the Alphabet song and Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star have the same tune?
Because they are both learnt at an early age and thus make the learning of the foundation of the English language that much easier.

Stop singing and read on……. Yes, it caught me too!
I wasn;t singing.

Do illiterate people get the full effect of Alphabet Soup?
Most illiterate people are in less economically developed countries and are thus short of cash. I very much doubt that Alphabet soup is a readily available commodity in these areas. Also, people who do eat Alphabet soup don't get a thrilling sense of accomplishment when they recognise the letter 'f'.

Did you ever notice that when you blow in a dog's face, he gets mad at you, but when you take him on a car ride, he sticks his head out the window?
Becuase you are blowing your breath, filled with various bacterium which consequently smells, into the face of an animal renowned for its nasal talents. True, dogs stick their heads out of the window to catch the smells outside, but this is not one consentrated personal odour.

Does pushing the elevator button more than once make it arrive faster?
No, but it adds a concept of reassure and to the pusher, comforting them and cementing the belief that the elevator will eventually come.
