Yeah, I've read some really cool stuff about those over the past few years.

I think it's kind of cool to imagine that our universe is like the intersection of a couple of M-Branes kind of like the shared surface of two soap bubbles stuck together floating through the air. Our whole universe may simply be that tiny ephemeral surface that exists only so long as the two bubbles exist and remain in contact with each other.

It's a pretty interesting perspective...
