"The gimmick is that a group of scientists have succeeded in creating a universe-in-miniature...they have created a primal superatom which explodes into the cosmic fragments of which stars and galaxies are eventually made...

"In this pocket galaxy the evolution of stars and planets takes place with--to the observers--lightning speed.  They watch the evolution of our own universe recreated, the coming of life on various scattered planets, the evolution of intelligent races, and the rise of civilizations.  By watching as these imprisoned cultures reach and pass our own level, they hope to watch a counterpart of our own far future and to reap the science of many races, thorough many thousands of years."
