In keeping with this two - dimensional analogy, string theorists describe our observable universe as a membrane — «brane» for short — flapping in the breezes of the actual 10 - dimensional cosmos.

Some versions of string theory, an all - encompassing theory of particle physics, suggest that our three - dimensional universe could exist within a four - dimensional sheet called a brane.

This brane may, in turn, occupy a higher - dimensional space known as the bulk.

What I'm studying is branes, membranelike objects in higher - dimensional space.

So when the authors claim that our 3 - D universe is part of a 10 - dimensional «brane» and that cycles of expansion and contraction result from collisions between our cosmic brane and a neighboring one, the best most readers can do is visualize two giant hands clapping the universe into existence over and over again.
