Summary :

A "crazy" scientist proposes the idea of a macro universe that contains our own, in fact in which our own is but a tiny speck. He proposes that great changes in this macroverse would permanently alter our universe -- possibly catastrophically. Example? What if our universe became so tiny that a wavelength of visible light wouldn't "fit" inside of it any longer?
