M Theory, Wave Theory or String Theory? Which one do you think is most likely, and can you please explain why very briefly?

Do us all a favor and ask scientific questions in the SCIENCE category. Atheism is a lack of supernatural belief, THAT'S ALL, NOTHING ELSE, C'EST TOUT. Being an atheist does not make one a science geek, or a Nova fan.

Not sure. The evidence is still insufficiently conclusive.
I tend to support the results of inflaton theory because it addresses some of the metaphysics of contingency and non-contingency. It's essentially untestable with current knowledge, but it is mathematically consistent (always a plus in science), addresses the contingency of the universe, and a non-contingent source.
For the record, inflaton theory is a modification of what was known as bubble-foam theory, and would work with numerous cosmological theories such as M Theory.

Cosmic Break Shot Theory.

I'd have to say string theory. Why? I've seen documentaries on all the theories and string theory seemed to make the most logical sense. Quantum Physics is actually the most impressive theory I've seen yet. Watch the movie/documentary "What the Bleep Do We Know". The movie changed my whole outlook on life.

since when being an atheist means i need a degree on physics?...dont have any idea of what m theory and the other theories are, and i see crystal clear you just want atheists to answer even though they dont know what that is, so that you can say: you are an atheist and you dontknow it!!! (pretty absurd and childish

Sorry, I don't know.
M-Theory covers numerous related theories (including string theory). It also provides an explanation of hte big-bang through the concept of the Ekpyrotic Universe. However it doesn't explain the underlying source.

Why are you asking an atheist this question? Do you think they are more likely to give you a sensible answer compared to someone who is superstitious?
I suppose you may have a point there as atheists are obviously capable of clear thought and their minds are unfettered with lots of mumbo jumbo.
Unfortunately not very many atheists are quantum physicists, so you have to wait for one of them to come along to give you an answer. The good news is that that its fairly likely that they will be an atheist though :-)

I don't think there IS a "very brief" explanation for these, and they're not mutually exclusive - each leads on to the next (mostly wave > string > M). I have a link I'll add in a second which is good for string theory.

AS ATHEISTS WE DO NOT BELIEVE IN THE EXISTENCE OF DEITIES!
Now having said that, as a human being I also believe in science, evolution, and a lot of othere things! How did the universe come into being? IDK, and basically, I don't care!
I don't pretend to know about many things, and just because I don't believe in God/godesses, ect, does nor automatically make me an expert on everything else!
It is extremely arrogant on your part to assume,that because we enjoy science, that we claim to know everything! We do not! Some atheists, may know a lot of things! ( I don't!)
Wish I could help, sounds like it is interesting!
It is too bad you guys (theists) waste your time, and ours, asking these questions!
Peace!

Brilliant! You are alluding to the trinity in super string theory!

Sorry, my not believing in god(s) does not make me a physics professor, I have no idea what the details of any of those theories are.
