non-Euclidean space theme
Space as it would be if the rules and axioms of geometry were suddenly different from what we know.
Examples
The Enterprise flew at warp speed in a straight line only to find itself back where it began in tng2x02 "Where Silence Has Lease", just as would someone who traveled in a straight line on the surface of Earth. Perhaps Nagilum's realm was a hypersphere.
