Neither can "come first" - for darkness to exist there must be an absence of light. But for light to exist there must be something to burn, and before there was anything burning there would have been darkness.

But.... as there would have been nothing to observe the darkness - as nothing can exist without light - then one can say that light and darkness are mutually necessary. You can't have one without the other.

No. Dark isn't a substance or a thing. It's just a place where light isn't. So I guess

you'd say that the speed of dark is identical to the speed of light, because as light

moves around, dark shows up immediately as soon as light leaves.

Darkness isn't a real thing, it is just a lack of light. So, I guess you could say that it travels at the speed of light as all the light leaves an area.

Technically there is no such thing as darkness, as darkness is space without light, darkness is no actual thing.

Darkness does not have speed since it is merely the absence of light.

No, darkness does not have physical properties as it isn't anything at all.
Darkness is defined as the absence of light, it is just what happens when light is not present.

Is the speed of darkness greater than the speed of light?

Darkness is only the absence of light. The 'speed of darkness', or the speed at which darkness 'propagates' (even though only the absence of photons is propagating) is therefor equal to the speed of light.

Darkness doesn't have a speed. What you are seeing is the light leaving. You could say it's the same as the speed of light but it's really just your perception that darkness is moving but it's really the absence of light.

If the speed of light is 299792458 meters per second what is the speed of darkness?

When scientists refer to the speed of light, they're talking about the photons which make up light. Darkness is the absence of light; hence, there are no photons. There is nothing to measure. The speed of darkness is undefined as there is no quanta making up darkness. Put simply: There is no speed of darkness!

It doesn't have a velocity! However, in theory, one could say that darkness is the only thing that replaces light!! So as light goes away, darkness takes its place!!

If a black hole can suck-up and draw in light then the speed of darkness must be faster then the speed of light?

Not quite. Remember that darkness is simply the absence of light. If you flipped a lightswitch in a closed room the light turns off, and it goes dark. The reason that is is because the lack of a light source. Some animals can take that lack of a lightsource and see using infrared visuals. They DONT emit a red light so darkness is still set there, but they can see through the darkness. The reason this is, because darkness is just a state of no light. We see things because light reflects off of them. The reason blackholes suck light is because they are so powerful light cant escape. which means light cant emit. Darkness has no speed esentally that is what I am getting at.
