No, this has nothing to do with moving faster than light. It is simply another type of matter - one that is very hard to detect, and that happens to be very common in the Universe.

If you go faster than the speed of light does everything turn dark?

First of all, the conditions you suppose in the question aren't possible. You do not go faster than the speed of light. But to answer the question, I would remind you that one of the most impoortant foundations of the Theory of Relativity is that no matter how an observer is moving, and no matter where the light is coming from, every observer measure the same speed of light. So no matter how you were moving, light from the usual sources would pass by you at the speed of light. (That's the speed you would measure as the light sailed past you.)


When was Dark Matter Moving at the Speed of Light created?

Dark Matter Moving at the Speed of Light was created in 2004.


Which travels faster airwatersoundor light?

Light. No ordinary matter can travel at or faster than the speed of light.


Can you stop light in air?

If a beam of light strikes a perfect black body, it will be absorbed and, therefore, you will have been able to "stop light in air" as was asked. If your question is about stopping the beam and holding it in place in some way, you cannot. The speed of light is a constant, and will be found to be the same in any inertial frame. If you could measure the speed of a beam of light and were moving "along side" the beam to measure its speed, you'd find it a constant no matter how fast you were moving. Stopping a beam of light in air is not something that can be done as asked.


What is the Alcubierre drive?

An Alcubierre drive is a hypothetical engine which is capable of faster than light travel by enveloping the spacecraft in a bubble of curved spacetime. This shell is allowed to travel faster than light, the spacecraft moving less than the speed of light inside the shell. The drive does require the existence of a type of exotic matter; matter with an imaginary mass. Such matter has never been observed and is considered highly speculative.


Are the particles move the faster in the light bulb or in a campfire?

Yes, light bulbs have the fastest moving particles.


Why cant the center of the Milky Way be seen?

The Milky Way is the center of the visible universe, as the boundary where matter travels away from the observer faster than light is at a constant distance in all directions. The universe beyond this point is unobservable, as the spacetime is moving away faster than light.


How matter waves are greater than the velocity of light?

There are some situations in which waves move faster than the speed of light; but in no case can this be used to transmit matter, energy, or information, at a speed faster than the speed of light in a vacuum.


Why is hot air light?

Hot air is "light" (less dense) because the atoms of the gas are moving faster


Can you get off a horse when it is moving at light speed?

No, you can't it's impossible. No matter can go at the speed of light.


How light and sound travel different States of matter?

Light can only travel through a transparent medium. Light travels fastest in a vacuum and gets slower the denser the material it is moving through. Sound gets faster the stifferthe material is but cannot move through a vacuum.The states of matter make little difference to light. Only the opacity and density have any effect.The states of matter do matter to sound. Air is less stiff than water, which is not as stiff as ice or steel. The speed of sound in steel is about 16 times faster than the speed of sound in air.


Is matter and energy two forms of the same thing?

energy is matter moving at the speed of light (e=mc2)
