Hi Scott

I'm sorry I can't expand upon this as, this was something I learned while
watching a Horizon special on cosmology and the big bang, and I accepted it
as a basic building block of multi dimensional universes, and this is
because I choose to accept that are eleven dimensions, which because more
learned men than I, have expounded that this is necessary to fit string
theory, another premise I tend to accept.
