I saw an interview last year of the creator of M Theory. Edward Witten (a true charicature of a "mad scientist" if there ever was one...goofy, nerdy, interesting fellow), and he believes that there are 11 dimensions.
I can't remember, are the branes and the dimensions the same thing? That would theoretically mean that there are 11 dimensions (branes)creating an untold number of multiple universes. Or was it that the branes were floating in 11 different dimensions?
I know that there are plenty of scientists who laugh at this, but these theories really overlap with spirituality in my mind. It would go a long way in explaining the dimensional shifts in consciousness that many of us have experienced in meditation or even experienced randomly. Particularly the ones where you feel as if you are "unlimited in space or time" and can't be contained. It would also help to explain the feeling of multiple lives or existences.
