Actually, there is a "before the big splash" as string theory with my modifications can explain the entire universe from before its beginning until after its end. <br /><br />I know string theory's on the rails now, as skeptical physicists say "but where's the proof?" Well, it's on its way, and it could be sooner than you think. <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" /> String theory does have its problems, but they'll soon be corrected. <br /><br />M-theory was a brilliant expansion of string theory by Ed Witten which consolidated the 5 previous string theories into one comprehensive theory which now included membranes. However, because it relies on closed loop strings to explain gravity (which can escape our brane accounting for gravity's weakness) it relies on parallel branes in awkward positions "leaking" gravity to us in order to work properly which is not very intellectually satisfying. <br /><br />Being an astronomer in a wheelchair with lots of time to think, I spent many thousands of hours running simulations on my "mental model" of the universe I had been developing since age 8. After incorporating M-theory into this model, I was able to explain our universe from before start to finish. <br /><br />Some of those simulations included colliding membranes together in order to create new universes. During those simulations, I realized that dark matter could be explained by the vibrations imparted to each brane from the collision itself. Like two bubbles that bounce into each other (filled with a very thin brane fluid, similar to water in zero-g ), the branes would send shockwaves vibrating throughout each other, creating a spider's web network of dark matter throughout each brane after the collision. Where the branes vibrate the most, it would compress spacetime, as gravity is simply the curvature of spacetime. <br /><br />However, this would mean that the brane itself is what transmits the gravitational force, not the closed loop string gravitons of M-theory.
