    Just don't start your Harry Potter for night time reading, with only 70 days or so of light you might not finish it in time...

      Laugh - if you can - but its insights like these that give rise to innovations - for example - a black light-bulb which helps to darken bright rooms.

        Einstein said that the speed of light is the ultimate speed in the universe. I’ve often wondered what the speed of dark might be…

          Depends what you mean by speed. Einstein was wrong in many respects, but got some interesting results, if for the wrong reasons. You'll catch on eventually.

            By speed I mean the rate of movement...

                From Mort, by Terry Pratchett.

                "The only things known to go faster than ordinary light is monarchy,
                according to the philosopher Ly Tin Weedle. He reasoned like this: you
                can't have more than one king, and tradition demands that there is no gap
                between kings, so when a king dies the succession must therefore pass to
                the heir *instantaneously*. Presumably, he said, there must be some
                elementary particles -- kingons, or possibly queons -- that do this job,
                but of course succession sometimes fails if, in mid-flight, they strike an
                anti-particle, or republicon. His ambitious plans to use his discovery to
                send messages, involving the careful torturing of a small king in order to
                modulate the signal, were never fully expanded because, at that point, the
                bar closed."

                  But as you approach the speed of light relativity becomes less of an issue…

                  Hmm there is a moose outside my window, should I offer it some of my sandwich?
