Hi!
I'm sure this has been done before, but is it possible for dark matter to travel faster than light (at least some candidates for dark matter)? We know that ordinary matter is limited by the speed of light, but what about dark matter? For all we know, dark matter may not use c-limited particles to exchange forces and stuff.
I would expect that it can't travel faster than light because its mass can affect the behavior of ordinary matter. However, I don't know enough about dark matter for certain.
Thanks in advance,
ACG
P.S. If dark matter CAN travel faster than light, it would explain the speed at which my father used to back out of the driveway...
