String Theory
Moving Beyond String Theory
By Mark Anderson
02:00 AM Sep, 26, 2006
Ask any credentialed nerd what the ultimate theory of physics is, and chances are they'll reply, "string theory."
In string theory -- an idea that's been around since the late 1970s -- the universe is a 10-dimensional place, with six of those dimensions curled up inside themselves like a cat in front of a fireplace. All particles and forces are different resonances and vibrations of these 10-dimensional strings.
Strings are far from the only game in town. There are other, potentially equally promising approaches to unifying physics' two seemingly incompatible visions of the cosmos: general relativity and quantum mechanics.

M theory was also before string theory, but was given no credence, because it was just too far out...
now, after the string theory has been searched to death, they (the scientists) decided that the unknowns in string theory, could be answered with M theory...
and membrane is an excellent way to look at this...
Someday, someone will create a quantum microscope, that can look into an atom, and find a galaxy...
or someday, we might discover, that we have lived our human evolution (along with our universal time scale) , in the relative dimensional plane, of the great creators kleenex...
the earth looks flat from down here, but we know it is a sphere...

To bad there isn't a way to check. Lol. We may never know but, there is a chance that the human soul is really imortal and we could have all of time to find out. Then again we could end up wondering for all of time.

There is actually a theory that instead of the universe beginning with a "big bang" it just sort of "bloomed" into existence much like a flower does.
