Also, did NTA just talk about making coffee in a very detailed manner?

That was my impression, but thirty thousand meters per second seems...a bit excessive for falling coffee. Unless you're accounting for the orbit around whatever planet this station is orbiting around? Please explain, Not The Author.

My interpretation was that the black mass in question was something completely different that Jacob knows about, as part of his knowledge of quantum magic and such forth. The black mass and the coffee are separate entities, linked by the fact that whilst Jacob knowns a fair bit about the workings of the universe, he is somewhat unsure as to the state of his cup of coffee.

Sorry, Sruix, the others are correct - I am talking about the coffee, and I was accounting for orbit. The "rising not falling" bit is because of anti-grav: The coffee is moving away from the bubble's center of mass (the artificial sun), towards what would be the atmosphere were the "planet" not built inside-out, moving against centripetal force and the force of natural gravity.
I may or may not go back to edit that for clarity at some point, though the latter is more probable since I've explained it here, anyway.

Haha NTA, the start of your post made me think of Vyrm'n xD
