ELI5, does DARK have a speed at which it travels, in the same way that LIGHT does?

Does dark travel at the same speed that it takes for light to disappear or move on? Or does it have its own metrics entirely?

Light is a wave (enough of the time for this to work). So imagine you have a long piece of rope attached to the wall near the floor and pulled out perpendicular. You can give that rope a snap and send a pulse down it. If The speed of the pulse represents the the speed of light, then what you asking is what speed does the rope return to flat. So yeah, I think as far as we can talk about the speed of the returning absence of something, in this case light, the speed of dark is the speed of light.
