branes

    Top: Science: Physics: Cosmology: Branes:

• - The purpose of this workshop will be to offer the opportunity to discuss issues such as the connection with M-theory and cosmological perturbations in the ekpyrotic scenario.
  
• - A one page article on the search for evidence of higher dimensions.
  
• - A lecture on colliding branes and the origin of the hot big bang by Paul Steinhardt
  
• - The aim of these lectures is to give a brief introduction to brane cosmology
  
• - This lecture presents the cosmological models with extra dimensions that have been recently elaborated, which assume that ordinary matter is confined on a surface, called brane, embedded in a higher dimensional spacetime.
  
• - An informal introduction to the models of the universe which use higher dimension branes.
  
• - A scientific american article on the brane-world models of the Universe
  
• - Extra spatial dimensions--beyond the three we know--might exist, while being invisible to most experiments.
  
• - An article from Sky & Telescope on the ekpyrotic universe model.
  
• - A popular physics explanation of the ekpyrotic model of universe creation
