The final cache (Small) is not at the posted coordinates. Solve the mind twisting puzzle to find the coords. If you cannot figure it out I believe they teach Astrophysics at this University (U of M). It may take a few years but it will be worth it to be able to solve this puzzle.
A black hole is a region of space from which nothing, not even light, can escape. The Theory of General Relativity predicts that a sufficiently compact mass will deform spacetime to form a black hole. Around a black hole there is a mathematically defined surface called an Event Horizon that marks the point of no return. It is called "black hole" because it is round and it is dark. Quantum mechanics predicts that black holes emit radiation and some black holes emit odor as well. The radiation and the odor is inversely proportional to the size of the black hole.
WARNING! Unless you have a Masters degree in Astrophysics or are a genuine genius, do not even attempt to solve the puzzle.
The final coords are N46 06.ABC W064 47.DEF
A - The amount of light that escapes from a Black Hole - Add 3
B - How many letters in the word 'Hole'?
C - How many 'A's are in the word 'Black?
D - How many words are in the Title 'Quantum Mechanics'?
E - How many brains did Albert Einstein have?
F - The theory of 'general relativity' relates to Black Holes. How many letters are in the word 'RELATIVE'?
Now give your mind a rest and take 3 deep breaths.
