Dark

He had a postulate, but he needed to prove it with maths.

The eminent mathematician needed to validate his theory before announcing it to the world. It was for this reason that he shared his unsolved, yet perfectly feasible theory with no one. He worked tirelessly in the basement of his home in order to keep his work away from the prying eyes of visitors. It was universally accepted that a person travelling at the speed of light would age slower. Therefore, it goes without saying that a person travelling at the speed of lightlessness, or to put it another way, dark, would age faster. Discovering a way of calculating the speed that dark travels was the man’s goal. When he finally cracked it, he made his findings public. Not everyone agreed with them. His formula for the speed of lightlessness, in other words, dark, was accepted with high praise in some quarters and stank in others.

However, the scholar, undaunted by the rebuttal of disbelievers went on with a second great challenge. This second formula, once completed would verify beyond doubt the veracity of the first. He knew that it would take a great deal of time and a lot of really clever mathematics. Once again, he burnt the midnight oil in his subterranean chamber working it out. His intention was to bring together the formulas for the speed of light and the speed of dark. The product of this conjunction would be a formula that, if tested against the known laws of relativity, would allow the calculation of real-time aging in man. Yet again, he managed to produce a definite result.

Unfortunately, there was a disparity, a minor glitch maybe, but a disparity all the same. He then set about putting some mathematical value on this apparent inconsistency. He did this by basing all his workings on himself. When it was finished, he was able to put a figure on the amount of the discrepancy. The answer was fifty-eight. This was the quantified degree of the supposed variation. It was several days before he realised that his latest formula was correct. This came about when he acknowledged the fact that he was indeed fifty-eight years old. This formula had been used to accurately calculate the real-time aging in man!

It took the scientific community and the world by storm. The fanfare went on for ages.

Those left still baffled by it all, just went along with the majority.
