Would anyone like this completely original plot? Our space is closed because it is warped by the mass of our universe, which was presumably wandering in hyperspace until it acquired an extra atom from somewhere, reached critical mass, and became a hyper-sphere. There it sticks until one of George O. Smith's bright technicians gets tired of squaring the speed of light and invents a time machine. The moment he sends one atom back into time critical mass ceases to exist, and we are precipitated into hyperspace. If you like you can work in the inevitable paradox by postulating that the atom sent back into time was the one which brought about the initial formation of the hypersphere.

Or this? One of the truly two-dimensional objects in our world is a moving picture on a screen. Suppose our universe is a kind of film projection in a four-dimensional space and the projector breaks down, or the three-dimensional screen develops a hole, or tilts to elongate our matter in two dimensions?

Here's one for 'Probability Zero". Ardent young musician wanting to surpass Toscanini and Beecham, takes a bath in liquid helium, and becomes a super-conductor!
