On the third night of its stay in the village, the circus revealed something that no one had ever known existed—or at least, they had never been explained or shown its existence in that fashion before. The substance the Nubian master was about to expose had been always associated with the devil, his sins and dirty paws, his Hell or Purgatory, his inscrutable and dangerous night. The Nubian master, standing alone in the middle of the presenting platform—dressed in white, as he always was—brought out a black box from under his vest. He told the audience, in an accent of a man who speaks many languages, that the trick he was about to show them was in actuality not a trick but a very profound scientific fact that could explain the mysteries of the human brain and the space between bodies. He said it could satisfy the gurus of astronomy who had been trying to decipher the matter for a very long time without any success. “This box,” he said, “contains black matter, the substance that is all around and in us, filling the vast space between stars and planets and commanding the cells and veins of our brains. No one has yet been able to see it and capture it—no one but me.”
