For
centuries scientists describe
the basic particles of nature as miniscule orbs and dots.
These components are the atoms and even smaller particles of which they
made up. The
snare theory states that the core of each piece of matter
exists of a very small vibrating thread of energy; a snare.
These snares of energy like stick to a membrane.
The past few years
physicists have begun to theorize that our universe might actually be a
three-dimensional "membrane" (four-dimensional if you add time
following the dictates of special relativity) that lies within a much higher
(eleven)-dimensional super-space (or super-space-time).
There
could also be more of those membranes, called
“M branes”. The
M stands for
Magic or
Mystery. These M branes behave like water surfaces stacked
on top of each other, with very little room to spare.
The idea is that when the waves of two of those parallel dimensions
touch, an enormous amount of energy is produced that causes a “Big Bang”.
So, our “Big Bang” probably wasn’t the first Big Bang, and our
universe probably wasn’t the last universe and there could well be more of
those universes be at hand in Space.
For
over two decades astronomers have been searching for the apparent
"dark
matter" that is thought to be responsible for
gravitational effects (the arms) in the
rotations of galaxies, the virial motions in clusters of galaxies, and other
astrophysical anomalies. It has been thought that 90 percent of the matter in
the Universe must consist of dark matter; nonluminous clouds of dust and gas
blocking our view of what's behind it. But the extra dimensional ideas of
modern super string and M-brane theory have begun to open yet another
possibility: that there is no dark matter within our Universe after all; rather
that the gravitational force of matter in adjacent membrane-universes is
spreading out and spilling over into our universe. In other words, entire other
universes might exist a tiny fraction of an inch away from our Universe in one
or more extra dimensions. We cannot see these universes because their photons of
light are stuck to their membrane-universe just like our photons are stuck to
our membrane-universe, but gravitational forces can reach from one
membrane-universe to another.
