Mathemagical Black Hole: Start with an input number. Apply a process (sequence of mathematical operations) to the input number and get an output number.
 
input number --> process --> output number
 
If the output number is equal to the input number, then the number is a mathemagical black hole using that process.
 
This 152-page eBook explores the process: sum of cubes of digits.
 
input number --> sum of cubes of digits --> output number
 
Black Hole 1: 13 = 1
 
Black Hole 153: 13 + 53 + 33 = 153
 
Black Hole 370: 33 + 73 + 03 = 370
 
Black Hole 371: 33 + 73 + 13 = 371
 
Black Hole 407: 43 + 03 + 73 = 407
 
And there are cyclical black holes with two or three numbers each cycle.
 
AMAZING! MATHEMAGICAL! Repeated application of the sum of cubes of digits process sends EVERY natural number into black hole 1, black hole 153, black hole 370, black hole 371, black hole 407 or a cyclical black hole.
 
Reality expands to fill the available fantasies!
