It raises questions about negative matter and the possibility of interactions between dimensions that are not perceived in conventional physical terms. The story follows two astronauts, Jay Hayling and Red Brewer, as they conduct experiments on a seemingly lifeless asteroid, 57GM, which exhibits bizarre behavior that defies known physical laws. While investigating strange fluctuations in mass and the malfunctioning of their laboratory scales, they encounter a mysterious female figure, referred to as the "minus woman."
