What you know
Book 3: Death's End
- Ch 56A black domain is a black hole formed by lowering the speed of light; it has a much larger Schwarzschild radius and an open interior rather than a singularity.
- Ch 57A missile entering a black domain at high speed is forced to the new low lightspeed, its energy becoming mass, and the rest of the missile crashes into the front, destroying it.
- Ch 57Calculations showed even strong-interaction objects such as droplets would be shattered at the black domain boundary.
- Ch 70A black domain, with light at 16.7 km/s, can be formed by more than a thousand lightspeed ships spreading from the Sun so their trails connect into a sphere.
- Ch 70Halo's engine at maximum curvature ratio can lower light speed in its trail to 16.7 kilometers per second.
- Ch 71Reduced-lightspeed black hole made from lightspeed ship trails; no message can leave it. Cheng Xin calls it a black domain.
- Ch 72The DX3906 system has become a reduced-lightspeed black hole sealed off from the universe; stars appear as crisscrossing lines of light from inside it.
