I could take a quick few flips around the moons of Jupiter and almost be back before the teacher finished the question.

Darkly humorous yet paradoxically light-hearted.

Nor sure I get your point.
What's amazing is light travels, what, 186,000 miles per second? Something like that.
BUT, if you're travelling 100,000 miles per second, the light travelling alongside you is STILL travelling 186,000 miles per second.
One of life's true mysteries.

It was meant to be funny. I don't think light OR darkness thinks, lol. 
@Hathacat Well, let's examine that issue in more depth
Let's assume for the sake of argument light "thinks " it travels faster than anything, and if it has the power of thought, it would be correct .
BUT darkness precedes it? I'd demur. Before the darkness was light, and before light was darkness, in a never-ending cycle, so darkness and light are both temporary conditions.
Again, what is the point? You say it's humorous, but why?
@Storm1752 no sure that’s true. I would leave that to the scientists to answer. I prefer to think there is a possibility to know, but may not happen in our life times. If your interested in it, and actively researching, cool. We need that interest to help drive the research. For me, It’s not in my top 100 priorities in life.
The contest is between darkness and gravity. Einstein picked a loser.

Forceful assertion.
@waitingforgodo The evidence for Einstein’s picking a loser?
Gravity is faster than light because gravity pulls Earth toward where the Sun IS, not toward where it WAS 8.3 minutes ago. Einstein’s thought-experiment betrayed him.
