Hyperspace Planet Factory
The wall of this hyperspace chamber, which does not literally exist within Magrathea, defies the imagination--seduces it and defeats it. The wall is so paralyzingly vast and sheer that its top, bottom and sides pass away beyond the reach of sight. The mere shock of vertigo could kill a man. The wall appears perfectly flat. It would take the finest laser-measuring equipment to detect that as it climbs, apparently to infinity, as it drops dizzily away, as it planes out to either side, it also curves. It meets itself again thirteen light seconds away. In other words the wall forms the inside of a hollow sphere, a sphere over three million miles across and flooded with unimaginable light. Ranged away before you, at distances you can neither judge nor even guess at, are a series of curious suspensions, delicate traceries of metal and light hung about shadowy spherical shapes that hang in the space.
