The Runaway Skyscraper

by Murray Leinster
A New York skyscraper is so heavy that it settles into the fourth dimension, taking engineer Arthur Chamberlain and his lovely, but stereotypical, secretary, Miss Woodward, (not to mention the rest of the building’s occupants) back to pre-Columbus Manhattan.
— Michael Main
Well, then, have you ever read anything by Wells? The ‘Time Machine,’ for instance?
“The Runaway Skyscraper” by Murray Leinster, in Argosy, 22 February 1919.

2 stories (1931–1931)

Tommy Reames in the Fifth-Dimension

by Murray Leinster
In the first novella (“The Fifth-Dimension Catapult”), physicist Tommy Reames and mechanic Smithers must rebuild the broken machinery that’s catapulted Professor Denham and his beautiful daughter into a parallel dimension of vicious jungle people, strange life forms, and a beautiful golden city. And gadzooks! In the second novella (“The Fifth-Dimension Tube”), the vicious fifth-dimensioners invade Earth! But despite the suggestive titles and citations of both stories in Nahin’s Time Machine, the stories involve only handwaving about time and space dimensions, minor enough that we don’t even count it as a time phenomenon.
— based on Frank J. Bleiler
Because the article on dominant coordinates had appeared in the Journal of Physics and had dealt with a state of things in which the normal coordinates of everyday existence were assumed to have changed their functions; when the coordinates of time, the vertical, the horizontal and the lateral changed places and a man went east to go up and west to go “down” and ran his streat-numbers in a fourth dimension.
