I'm enamored with the idea that at some lowest level, like quarks of our universe, there is a pair, two membranes as close or closer than two atoms, which are paired. Connections between them are strings, or could be thought of such. Usually they are separate but sometimes they link giving rise to matter. (This is not an original idea). (perhaps actually loops that appear as a string segment in each membrane) Okay, why is there only two membranes connected? First of all, there may be other membrane layers, but they would be at smaller (microsopic or quantom-scopic scales smaller). At the big level, lets's say a black hole in one membrane connected to a "big-bang" white hole in the other, there are obviously many black holes in this universe, so there would be many white holes in other dimensions, and if each dimension (membrane) were seperate there would be less and less universe in each one, unless the matter ultimately fell into the same pool. Same with tiny particles. Okay, so that's where I think the big bang came from, a black hole in the other membrane. This is a place where because of gravity the two membranes touched. I see an obvious flaw, there should be many big bangs in our universe to explain all the black holes in the other. What I am toying with, is that the controlling factor is time. When the universe is just begun time is running so slowly that what we now perceive as milliseconds was huge amounts of "time" on some other scale. I don't know, what mostly bothers me is why we don't see new "white holes" if this explains how it is. TP
