Yes, that's the story! (Though, I don't think that's the anthology that I originally read - none of the other works seem even slightly familliar)– SailsMan63Commented May 4, 2020 at 17:54

Don't tell me he called this cold stuff "dark matter"...– Mr ListerCommented May 4, 2020 at 20:58

@MrLister not quite. It is described as a "dark body", "invisible", and the source of a gravitational disturbance. Kron never calls it 'matter', but rather something unknown that can behave like a solid.– LSerniCommented May 4, 2020 at 22:32

@LSerni what was I thinking? Kron does literally call it matter and even does so in the very passage that I quoted. They had never thought it was matter -- but that was before hearing the Sirian's theory.– LSerniCommented Jan 26, 2023 at 10:13

A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
Type the name of the science fictional or fantastical work your question is about (Example:
star-wars).For questions not specific to any one work, use concept tags to describe your question (Example:
story-identification).Tagging rules:
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. story-identification), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
