A plague never develops, but the astronauts perfect a way of using mathematics to instantaneously transport spaceships across the galaxy. This allows them to visit the Andromedan's home planet and partake of exploratory swims in its oceans of frozen gases. The spacemen return to Earth, only to find that the Chaotic Transport' mechanism plays tricks with time: It's 820 years in the future, humans are extinct and the planet is once again a verdant primitive paradise.
