At least for me it it may means that those photons are not being reflected or they aren't emmited or their flow is reversed in comparison with expectation. Also this sentence may pertain to black body instead of actual black hole. Falling into his creation could mean that he just fell down from stairs =] It is too ambiguousto to be sure about anything. Also SHADOWS CUTTING DEEPER sounds more like a poem than actual scientific jargon ^^

Entry #5 also has some issues. Alphys by saying I believe this is what gives their SOULs the strength indicates that she isn't sure what she actually holds and what it can do. She even calls that It instead of determination. She doesn't have any scientific confirmation except being convinced and having expectations. Otherwise she should say This is what gives their SOULs the strength... or simply This is determination... She simply doesn't know. Unusual as for scientist. Also after and not before extraction Alphys gives It a name - Let's call this power... "Determination." This is the moment, when "determination" is being discovered and named. This also means that thare are actually two types of determination. First, The will to keep living... The resolve to change fate is a attitude, a state of the mind and second has some physical form because it can be extracted and injected. And they doesn't need to be exact the same. Surely Alphys did extracted something from the human soul but she only calls it "determination". She even uses quotes like it is contractual term for this power. Hate to be pedantic but black bodies also emit.... black body radiation :D which is also electromagnetic radiation. Sooo, trust me, it wouldn't be a black body.

As for Alphys' entry n° 5, the theory I have is that Alphys actually didn't receive a proper education: she doesn't know about the royal family (she initially calls Toriel by 'Asgore's clone'), ergo she doesn't know about Asriel and Chara; plus, Asgore took a long time to hire a Royal Scientist after Gaster disappeared, as Gaster followers 1 and 3 state - probably long enough for Alphys to have been born after Gaster disappeared and was forgotten. Finally, Alphys doesn't make ANY mention of time travel or even timelines at all - unlike Asgore, who is suggested to know. So, she quite probably does not know anything about souls other than what Asgore told her.
