Keep up the good thinking Darkpr0 . By the way, I found the link, but it's from National Geographic and there's no 'subscribers only' section that would allow me to copy and paste, or let you read the material. Take a look at this picture though, it explains the 'bubble', or budding theory I was talking about earlier
If you read The Universe in a Nutshell by Steven Hawking, he says he dosnt really know why its called M-theory. He said you can refer to it as the "membrane theory" or "mother-of-all theories", but not one is correct or incorrect cause its just kind of a made up name.

Yes, that sounds about right. I've heard it called the budding theory before, but I think it's from the M-Theory ('M' is also said to possibly stand for 'membrane' anyway, right?). I know I got the very basic concepts right according to a variation of the theory but wasn't completely sure about the name.
