HARSH, black space—survey craft appears from jump.
SHORT peace, then crew alarms, sensors blare.
KAPPA may be constant, but tensor here shows local space evilly curved,
SOBERest of questions: far enough from black hole to claw away?

Love it! I’m a sucker for space and astrophysics.
Thanks! I was looking for uses of Kappa in science and found it in Einstein’s field equation for general relativity. (That it’s in the equation and that it multiplies a stress energy tensor is the full sum of what I understood. That one sentence says all I know). Then I was off and running . . .
I think if I’d used these words in a Quordle poem, I’d have gone for something along the lines of, KAPPA, can someone give me a kappa tea?
Apart from that, I don’t know what a KAPPA is…LOL
Apparently, it’s Einstein’s own gravitational constant as distinct from Newton’s. That cuppa sounds even more plausible (to us both).
