Subject: RE: BS: What went Big Bang?
"These objects do not seem to obey Newton's laws. (I call them 'perverse objects.) The reason is that they are being sucked into anti-space to be material for the next big bang."

This sort of reminds me of a story called, 'Dusty Zebra' by the late, great SF writer, Clifford Simak. It's years since I read this story - but, if I remember correctly, the protagonist finds a sort of portal to another dimension in some part of his house. He discovers that the inhabitants of this other dimension have a use for small, plastic, toy zebras, which disappear into the portal. The dwellers in the other dimension are willing to exchange the zebras for devices which act as very efficient vacuum cleaners. He sees a business opportunity ... but things go awry ... I'll leave you to read the story.
