"I believe," Gregory began, "that in your period, fiction writers made some use of the subject of time-travel. It was not, however, given serious consideration, largely because of certain alleged paradoxes involved, and because of an elementalistic and objectifying attitude toward the whole subject of time. I won't go into the mathematics and symbolic logic involved, but we have disposed of the objections; more, we have succeeded in constructing a time-machine, if you want to call it that. We prefer to call it a temporal-spatial displacement field generator."
"It's really very simple," the woman called Paula interrupted. "If the universe is expanding, time is a widening spiral; if contracting, a diminishing spiral; if static, a uniform spiral. The possibility of pulsation was our only worry...."

An interesting take on time travel and utopia/dystopia earths. Not to mention well written and well structured with believable characters, good use of dialogue, and from a time when world-building was done by weaving world-revealing elements into the story itself rather than slamming them in the rea
Piper a sci fi great.
I prefer the little fuzzy series. Though the lord kalven of other when series is good as well. This is a simple tale, told in fifty pages, of a time travel loop as it goes through its paces.
Short, old-school, story that feels like the literary version of a 2 episode Twilight Zone, or Outer Limits Special.
