Well, the craziest I can think of off the top of my hat, and that is seriously being considered by physicists, would be the holographic hypothesis, which basically states that the world has 2 space dimensions and there is only the boundary of what we call the universe - and a third dimensions arises as a kind of dynamical effect of the physics on the two dimensions. The most important pointer that led to this conjecture was that the amount of "information" one can store in a given volume of space is limited by the fact that at some point it would collapse into a black hole. Now, it turned out that the information content at which this happens does not depend on the volume of space, but is proportional to the *surface*. This led people to speculate that this limitation might be due to the fact that fundamentally, the world is only two-dimensional (plus time).
