The Universe is a giant concert hall, where instead of walls and balconies, invisible clouds of dark matter float. This architectural ensemble is not static: it refracts and scatters the 'music' rushing through it — gravitational waves from merging black holes.

In 2034, a rocket leaves a spaceport with an unusual payload: two spheres the size of a large globe, each weighing nearly a ton. No engines, no electronics. Just a mirrored surface of hundreds of corner-cube reflectors — tiny prisms that return light exactly to where it came from. This is the future space tuning fork.
