You received two notes from Doug this morning,
an earlier one, before light and a second, condensed. Drop the shorter version
here:

Dick, If the ship were
cloaked with enough dark matter to make it a black hole then time near the ship
on the outside would be very slow or stop and of course you would not see it.
Inside time and light still exist. Reminds me of the Klingon cloaking device.
I have been pondering
about us living in a black hole and how this could be without crushing us. If
our visible universe were surrounded with a shell of dark matter that was large
enough to turn it into a black hole, the gravity inside at the center would be
zero on whatever is at the center. Time and light and mass exist. The entire
concept of living inside a black hole makes me wonder if our universe is just a
bubble with some mass and energy inside a sea of dark matter. If the black hole
was not a spherical shell, dark energy might be an artifact of the black hole.
One of the freshman
college physics problems is to explain the motion of a ball dropped into a hole
drilled through the earth. Because at the center of the earth the gravity in
the hole has reduced to zero, the ball will experience periodic motion.

Doug, this is
Amorella. Orndorff is lacking words here and will have to absorb your words as
an artifact of dark matter absorbs time and becomes a shell, a conditional
effect of a black hole lite as words convert into
a cohesive thought.
Doug,
Thank you very
much. I am attempting to come to a base understanding so that I might have an
imagination to make this a practical speculation to be useful in the books. My
hope is that since I don't know what one can't do I can come up with something
than can be used, at least in a fiction. I am so out of my league here.
But I love the concepts and speculations that come with science so much;
such a wonder the science presents to one's imagination.
;-)

0954
hours. When I don't know what to say, that is, how to put my words because I
cannot seem to absorb the matter coherently enough, you go first. I thank you
for this Amorella. I used to be embarrassed by such personal matters but I see
you as being helpful when I cannot come up with the words to communicate mainly
because, at the time, I do not understand how to communicate effectively what
is actually on my mind (sometimes what is on my mind is a near absolute zero). Sometimes what
is on my mind is just out of reach, on the other side of a wall full of sorts
and whatnot's.
You are at the corner of Cornell and Montgomery Roads at
Montgomery Family Medicine waiting on Carol's appointment. Doug sent you a
note, a photo and said it looked like a Klingon cloaking devise. What it is
(photo below) from Skye:
"Astronomers using a
telescope in Chile's Atacama Desert have discovered an unexpected spiral
structure in the material around dying red giant R Sculptoris. The spiral
-- visible around the bright dot at the center of the image -- is likely caused
by a hidden companion star orbiting R Sculptoris."
As you
have free wireless here, another note from Doug.

Dick, When we were in High
School the shape of the universe was supposed to be a saddle shape. Now it is a
flat plain. This is most curious. Doug
There’s a continuing discussion among
astronomers regarding the actual shape of the Universe. Right now, the most
widely accepted model supports that of a flat universe.
This has been confirmed through accurate
measurements made by WMAP (Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe), a spacecraft
that maps out the differences in temperature of the cosmic microwave background
radiation (CMBR) across the entire sky. These results, which only has a 2%
margin of error, were released in 2008.
Even before the WMAP measurements, a project
in 2001 known as Boomerang already showed that the Universe was flat within 15%
accuracy.
Before these seemingly conclusive findings
were released, discussions revolved around three possible shapes: flat, closed,
and open. To ascertain the actual shape, majority of astronomers were in
agreement that they only needed to determine a few significant information
about the Universe. One of them was its density.
They knew that if the density was found to be
approximately equal to an accepted critical density, then the best prediction
would be that of a flat universe. If it was lower than the accepted value, then
the best prediction would favor an open one. Finally if it was higher than the
critical density, the prediction would favor a closed universe.
[Here Doug gave me a source which I followed
and this line continued]:
All three models stem from
the Big Bang cosmological theory, which strives to explain how the Universe
began. This is easily the most acceptable of all cosmological theories,
following the detection of the CMBR. It is only through the Big Bang theory
that the presence of the CMBR can be explained.
Since the ultimate fate of
the universe is also dependent upon its density, there is therefore a direct
link between its shape and how it will end. The possible endings, which are
also offshoots of the Big Bang, are: the Big Crunch, Big Bounce, Big Freeze,
and Big Rip.
Observations have shown
that the Universe is expanding at an accelerated rate, with the outermost
regions moving farther away at velocities close to the speed of light; i.e.,
much, much faster than those regions that are near us.
A flat universe would
still favor an expansion but not at this rate. This observation has led
scientists to predict the presence of a so-called dark energy that pushes the
galaxies farther apart.

The
doctor's appointment only took a few minutes, over to get a prescription for
poison ivy, then, home for excellent leftover Papa John's pizza from supper and
then on to Kenwood for Carol's yearly eye examination.
1246
hours. I am getting excited about the prospect of using dark matter and black
hole and universe shape theory in a fabricated paint (blackenot) on Ship.
1407
hours. Sitting in McD's across from the Kenwood Centre waiting on Carol who is
nearby, she said it would be about two hours. Checking email and another note from Doug responding to my
question below.

Is this is
what you were referring to in your first note, that if we were within a black
hole then the dark energy would be pulling us [the universe] apart rather than
pushing?

Doug's reply:
Dick,
You said it right!

Now
I am pumped. I think this can work, at least in a fiction.
Dr. Goss is a good friend and is quite
helpful for us here. I respect his humanity in this project as I respect yours.
- Amorella
No
words forthcoming, Amorella.
At least you have learned not to apologize
for it. Post. - Amorella
1506 hours. I just
watched the President's speech thanking the Red Cross and first responders. I
am impressed with his words.
You cannot expect yourself to speak or use
your keyboard when you are quietly overcome with heartansoulanmind any more
than anyone else so overcome. In here this is another reason why the Dead stay
quiet. In this fiction it is even more overcoming from people who did not even
realize their heartsansoulsanminds were present in this combined form, the form
on which the shaman dances on which the shaman has always danced. That's how it
is in here, boy.
Even
in a fiction such as this, that is the notes to the fiction, I get the feeling
that there may be more to our human spirit than there is to black holes and
dark matter. I want to say I know better, but the thing is, I don't. There is
nothing prideful in this thought; in fact it is 'revelationary' to me to have
even considered the concept.
Post. - Amorella
You picked up Carol and have returned to Kroger on
Tylersville to pick up Carol's prescription. She asked if you wanted anything
and you said "treats" and told her to decide. Later tonight we may
work on Pouch-5. You already have "blackenot" as part of the series
now we are going to explain it. You are surprised first, that the universe may
be flat, and second, that the theory of the universe being within a black hole
can be used to reinforce this. Now will be the part where Yermey is thinking
through the plan for when they take their return flight from Put-in-Bay to
Cleveland and how this is going to work. This is what Pouch-5 will be about,
"Yermey's Plan". - Amorella
As
usual, this is not what I was considering. Surely though, it is better for the
reader to see the plan before it takes place. It will also give the reader
something to think about in terms of technology some twenty thousand years
ahead of our own times.
That's a lot of time for technological
advancement and we might as well demonstrate how Ship operates. You may want to
go back and look over material, particularly the 'names of things' that you
used in relationship to Ship as background because we can use that file.
