PREFACE

Scientists believe that the universe is about 70 percent dark matter and dark energy. Inchoate (In-KO-8) is a planet made of dark matter. Dark matter and our “real” matter don’t interact very much but do share energy spectra. This leads to all kinds of things that can happen when Inchoate passes through or into the Earth, or other regular matter.

The planet is one-sixth the scale of Earth. The people there use the metric system, but the reader must realize that a kilometer on Inchoate is like six kilometers here. A volume of an object one cubic meter on Earth would only be 1/216th of that on Inchoate. Since the laws of physics would apply to both places, this means that the amount of energy needed to move a scaled Inchoate object would be greatly reduced.

Some creatures from Earth fell through a passage between the worlds. Thus, on Inchoate, many birds, rodents, and reptiles seem six times their size on the surface of Earth. We assume that the Higgs bosons that account for the mass of atoms have been reduced or removed as well.

There are four two-legged sentient species on the planet. Homo vulgaris are the primary intelligent erect family on the largest continent of Inchoate and have skins of various shades of blue. Homo shardana people exist worldwide as seafarers and have green complexions. Homo primordial is the only species to exist near the North Pole. The nature of the fourth species, the Progenitors, will become clear in time.

The Endnotes provide useful information such as the value of currency on Inchoate, how the year is divided, and the languages spoken there.

I hope you enjoy the story.
