From the by Professor Abdullah Nightingale Dimensional Hiatuses. Anyone venturing into a dimensional hiatus should realise in advance that everything in an alien dimension can be fundamentally different. It may lack something important - air, for example - or the atmosphere may consist of water, or lead, or concrete. The laws of nature that prevail there may be quite different from our own. There may be no gravity, no time, or no space. Another dimension could, for instance, consist of congealed boredom or musical frigidity, of lethal poison gas or a solar temperature registering many thousands of degrees, of high-voltage electricity or unfulfilled wishes.
