M-theory and the creation of universes?

Question

According to m-theory the creation of universes is possible to do in a lab. I am only a highschool sophomore so I don't know any of the physics teachers to ask them about it. Is it possible that in those experiments where they shoot particles at each other at high speeds to see glimpses of the early universe that they are actually creating universes?

I know about the membranes that float through the 11th dimension. The physicist on the discovery science channel said that it is possible to creat a universe in a lab or even in your own basement. The cool thing is that in a fraction of a second it will have expanded exponentially but would have become a membrane in the 11th dimension and would therefore not displace any of out matter. I know that when matter is in highspeed colliders and it makes contact it creates conditions that are very similary to what we believe our early universe to have been like that is where I got the idea that maybe they could actually have been creating universes without even realizing it.

By the way m-theory is string theory not particle theory so don't get the two confused and start mixing them.

Answer 1

According to M theory there are higher dimensional planes called branes that, when they collide, provide the energy that goes into making a new universe through a big bang. I don't believe it is possible for high speed colliders to start a new universe, since it would take as much energy input as there would be in the new universe and we haven't nearly enough energy to do that. It's an interesting thought that we may be creating new universes but not practical. But it's good to see that you are thinking about the bigger picture. I wish more people would do that and ask interesting questions like yours.

Answer 2

Well, they aren't really creating universes there. The machine you are talking about is called a SuperCollider and it was supposed to be built here in Texas right south of me in Waxahachie. It's purpose was to find the Higgs boson element, which has not been found/seen yet, only theorized in the Standard Model of particle Physics. That particle is supposedly what gives all of the elements their mass, and finding/creating it would help us to understand the creation of mass and elements and would explain much of our universe and what it is made out of. The newest collider, the Large Hadron Collider which should be finished at the end of this year, should be able to verify whether or not this Higgs Boson elementary particle exists. - And I am not talking about string or M Theory - your the one combining them in your question - I do know a little bit about Physics...most everything you hear about MTheory is all conjecture and has not been proven or tested beyond the pen and pencil stage. Even if a physicist all hyped up on MTheory predictions THINKS this can happen, no one has done it yet. No experiments have produced any results like that so far. So you probably can't attempt in your basement. Thanks.

Answer 3

No, it doesn't actually create new universes, but it creates energy conditions (and gives rise to particles that can only exist in those conditions) similar to what is theorized existed in the early universe.

Answer 4

how are you able to "will boost the entropy of subatomic debris" or have "nuclear collisions that provided adequate skill to create a huge bang like experience" previously the debris existed which could have been after the universe all started. Its finished nonsense. And what does "the radiating of a novel length" even propose?

Answer 5

No ... M theory is quite different and right now it's a lot of conjecture with no verification. Stay tuned to see what happens.

Answer 6

Cool. Neat idea! I would ask someone about that-like a scientist- maybe you're on to something!
