Big Bang Theory "M"?

Question

I've heard about the 'big bang theory' and have heard about another one entitled 'm'...anyone ever heard of it? I'm looking for more information.

Answer 1

11 dimensional string theory, (and M theory), has not produced anything.

It is possible that the 7 dimensions of space that are not perceived are mathematical deception, and therefore string theory is a theory of nothing, as you will find if you read the wikipedia article on string theory all the way to the end.

Answer 2

The Big Bang Theory is the dominant scientific theory about the origin of the universe. According to the big bang, the universe was created sometime between 10 billion and 20 billion years ago from a cosmic explosion that hurled matter and in all directions.
In 1927, the Belgian priest Georges Lemae was the first to propose that the universe began with the explosion of a primeval atom. His proposal came after observing the red shift in distant nebulas by astronomers to a model of the universe based on relativity. Years later, Edwin Hubble found experimental evidence to help justify Lemae's theory. He found that distant galaxies in every direction are going away from us with speeds proportional to their distance.

The big bang was initially suggested because it explains why distant galaxies are traveling away from us at great speeds. The theory also predicts the existence of cosmic background radiation (the glow left over from the explosion itself). The Big Bang Theory received its strongest confirmation when this radiation was discovered in 1964 by Arno Penzias and Robert Wilson, who later won the Nobel Prize for this discovery.

Although the Big Bang Theory is widely accepted, it probably will never be proved; consequentially, leaving a number of tough, unanswered questions.

Answer 3

Ah, the M-Theory. It's suppose to unify all 5 string theories, and was introduced very recently (in mid 90's i believe) by string theorist Edward Witten. M-theory adds to the string theory membranes as another fundamental constituent of the universe. It states that our observable universe maybe just a superextended multi-dimensional brane, with many other parrallel universes. M-theorists have stated that collision of these cosmic "branes" could result in enough energy to start a big bang (another universe).

All this does sounds crazy, but they are somehow backed by incredibly complex mathematics that are beyond normal people like you and me. really fascinating stuff :)

Answer 4

The big bang theory is correct to a point.
A primordial egg did not sit nowhere then blow up.
It was a single space-time pulse that initiated the whole thing.
Forget about the "M" or brane deal if it is not separated by space it does not exist!

Answer 5

M theory, holds that the universe consists of two parallel sheets, or membranes. The two membranes are separated by a "fifth" dimension a tiny fraction of a centimeter wide.

Answer 6

Have you heard of the world is square theory. Back then they believed it as much as the big bang and the m theory. It is all bullplop
