Big Bang Just a Brane Bash?

String theory gives us membranes, or "branes". These branes can expand
to enormous sizes, universe-size. It is my understanding that all
forces in string theory are fixed to the branes, except gravitational
forces which can "eminate" from the brane. And when two branes
(multiple universes) collide, they release energy. They say this could
essentially the Big Bang Theory explanation? How would this work? How
would the string theory explanation match up with the Big Bang Theory?

Good question. We'll wait until string/m brane theory produces some
testable predictions and then see if it's any good.

Really! By what authority? Bush-branes?
