There was no such thing as a starry sky in five-dimensional space-time.
The most dazzling things here came in two kinds.
One was tachyons, the fastest form of dark energy.
The minimum speed of this matter was the speed of light in three dimensions, while its maximum was that speed multiplied by ten to the forty-eighth power.
The five-dimensional constant C, the maximum speed at which energy could propagate, was exactly equal to the maximum speed of tachyons.
But tachyons rarely reached that maximum. Giving them energy slowed them down; the greater the energy, the slower they moved.
Thus, in this space-time, tachyons could transmit data. Or rather, they had always been able to; only their incomplete, three-dimensional aspect had been unable to do so.
This made them the equivalent of light in five-dimensional space-time, where electromagnetic waves did not exist.
Countless tachyon light waves filled the vacuum, illuminating everything and transmitting energy and data.
They accounted for five percent of its mass-energy! This made the world seem like an ocean of energy!
The remaining nearly ninety-five percent of its mass belonged to the other dazzling phenomenon... black holes.
Black holes shone more brilliantly than quasars! They were unimaginably immense! Countless vast masses of white tachyon light enveloped and circled them in thick layers, while terrifying energy radiated outward as divine sense power, making them monstrous celestial bodies that illuminated the entire universe.
This made them look like white holes, but they were genuine black holes, constantly devouring the surrounding tachyons and the exceedingly rare sound-charge primordial matter.
As they swallowed everything in their path, not even tachyons could escape. That showed just how terrifyingly dense their gravity was.
At that moment, the five who had transcended from a tiny, insignificant clump of sound-charge primordial matter immediately found themselves within
