Here's one about extra dimensions
Primordial weirdness: Did the early universe have 1 dimension?

Did the early universe have just one spatial dimension? That's the mind-boggling concept at the heart of a theory that University at Buffalo physicist Dejan Stojkovic and colleagues proposed in 2010.
…
The core idea is that the dimensionality of space depends on the size of the space we're observing, with smaller spaces associated with fewer dimensions. That means that a fourth dimension will open up … if it hasn't already .. as the universe continues to expand.

The theory also suggests that space has fewer dimensions at very high energies of the kind associated with the early, post-big bang universe.

.. but this guy, (a professor of Physics), seems to have a solution.:

"We have to take into account the possibility that something is systematically wrong with our ideas," he continued.

"We need something radical and new, and this is something radical and new."

I think I've heard that before … somewhere … sometime …
