Infinity plus one is still infinity,
but what is infinity minus one? Has to be something less than infinity, right? Seriously, I've been wondering. |

Actually, if you think about it, the speed of dark is anything faster than the speed of light!

Knew a guy who was so fast that he could flip off the lights and get in bed before it got dark.
Infinity minus one is infinity. There are several levels of infinity, by the way. (We would all agree that the set of all integers is less in size than the set of all real numbers - Real numbers include all rational and irrational numbers - but yet both are infinite). From my old math training, it seems like I recall the levels of infinity being Aleph 0, Aleph 1, etc. If I get motivated, I'll see if I can find out any more from some old math books.

The Dark has no speed. You wouldn't even know you were in the dark unless there were light. It takes light to differenciate the dark.

Yes, there are different levels of Infinity, just as there are different levels of Accura and Lexus.
Is it time for you to take another pill? |

If a camera flashes in a dark room, the begining of the flash (of light) will travel at the same speed as the last bit of of light in the flash.
SO, since the absence of light is "dark". . . it follows that light and dark will travel at the same speed. V(dark)=C

If you travel at any speed greater than the speed of light, away from a single light source, it would be dark though wouldn't it?
Just think, if we devote as much time an enery to this thread as we did to the eRam thread, we might be able to figure out time travel!

Okay, I can figure this out...no I can't...
Wait, alright. Dark: dark has no speed. It's an absorbant. It exists as a void and voids don't move. Things fall into voids, and those things are at speed. Black holes and such... Don King's hair...

. . and so now, dd74; if you learned anything from the amazing zanick, you should refute my assertion by telling me I'm wrong, because you know the guy who designed & invented the Acme "Portable-Hole" AND the Acme "Paint-on Tunnel". . . .both based on the proper equations pertaining to "dark".

Island you're wrong.
E=mc^2 E=hv Therefore E=E. But we all know from the 4th law of thermodynamics that the energy of the universe is tied to entropy, enthalpy, and enharmonic convergence, so E=(0.5)E*g/G^gG See? You're wrong. And as my good friend and parter engineer David St. Hubins said in his presentation to the 42nd annual Irreproducible Results Symposium: "Well, I don't, I don't really think that the end can be assessed...uh as of itself as being the end because what does the end feel like, it's like saying when you try to extrapolate the end of the universe you say the...if the universe is indeed infinite then how what does that mean? How far is is t...is all the way and then if it stops what's stoppin' it and what's behind what's stoppin' it, so what's the end, you know, is my...question to you.... " |

Oh yeah? Well if you really want your head to hurt, figure this one out.
If a man speaks in a forest and a woman is not there to hear him.....is he still wrong?  I'll be in the bathroom. I gotta go see a guy about a horse. |

As far as Acme products go, yes, they were designed in part to defy dimensions and engage parallel universes. In most cases this only partially worked when utilized by squab-hungry geniuses.

 . . .maybe if you had a patent, it would all be true. "42nd annual Irreproducible Results Symposium" -LOL- "In most cases this only partially worked when utilized by squab-hungry geniuses." hahaha. . . Can someone morph Baghdad-Bob with Wile E. Coyote' so we know who we're talking to, on that shEEp-Ram there?
