It’s still the same old story,
a fight for love and…
a fight for love and…
Glory
Wikipedia on the tesseract:
“Glory Road (1963) included the foldbox, a hyperdimensional packing case that was bigger inside than outside.”
Robert A. Heinlein in Glory Road:
“Rufo’s baggage turned out to be a little black box about the size and shape of a portable typewriter. He opened it.
And opened it again.
And kept on opening it– And kept right on unfolding its sides and letting them down until the durn thing was the size of a small moving van and even more packed….
… Anyone who has studied math knows that the inside does not have to be smaller than the outside, in theory…. Rufo’s baggage just carried the principle further.”
And opened it again.

Johnny Cash: “And behold, a white horse.”
On The Last Battle, a book in the Narnia series by C. S. Lewis:
“… there is much glory in this wonderfully written apocalypse. Tirian, looking into the stable through the hole in the door, says, ‘The stable seen from within and the stable seen from without are two different places.’ Digory answers, ‘Its inside is bigger than its outside.’ It is the perceptive Lucy who voices the hope that is in us, ‘In our world, too, a stable once had something inside it that was bigger than our whole world.'”
Lewis said in “The Weight of Glory”—
“Do you think I am trying to weave a spell? Perhaps I am; but remember your fairy tales. Spells are used for breaking enchantments as well as for inducing them.”
On enchantments that need to be broken:
