I just read about this but… can quite wrap my head around it. Is it even possible?

[Discovery posted a thought experiment trying to explain it.](https://www.discovery.com/science/darkness-is-faster-than-the-speed-of-light)
In essence it can “move” faster than light Only because darkness itself is a *lack* of something rather than a something like photons or atoms or electrons. It’s something of a gimmick really, in the truest technical sense when your finger hits that lens it will still take X amount of time for the shadow to appear on the planet surface to begin with, just like it takes 7 minutes or whatever for Sunlight to reach us and if the Sun suddenly went out we wouldn’t see it for 7 minutes either.
