What does the M stand for in M-theory?
"Hmmhmm. Asked frequently this question is. Mmm-master maybe? Easy it may be for young padawans to confuse M with a fanciful title, magic, murky, midichlorians perhaps? The true meaning, membrane, it is. Primitive this theory is, still, replaced String Theory it has. Refers to the energy fields surrounding the string that vibrate in particles to create existing objects in space and time the M for membrane does.

Amist they already exsistant particles that make up mater they are. Makes vibrations that attributes to particle movement and matter interactions small "string-like" particles are. On a much smaller plane of exsistance are they. Smaller than even atoms, as they are thought to make up the very matter that makes the atoms themselves. Attempts to explain the gravitational tendencies are large celestial objects string theory does. Simultaniously, also combining the ideas of quantum mechanics, (study of the fundimental forces on particles at an atomic level, that is.) Unite these concepts M-theory does.
 * What are the strings, more specifically?**

On the edge of the universe these membranes lie. So immense such membranes are, bound by conventional laws of space and time, they are not. Form entirely new universes when they collide, these membranes do. Specifically called called "P-branes" these membranes often are. Exist in nine dimensions, these membranes do, what the "P" stands for, that does.
 * So what exactly do these "membranes" do?**

Unify many pre-existing theories this theory does. Why often M-theory is called "the theory of everything," this is. Take ideas from and unify Type II string theory, superstring theory,quantum physics, theoretical physics, and many ideas regarding black holes and wormholes, M-theory does.
 * What happens to all the other theories now that M-theory has come about?**

Almost self-explanatory, the name is. Since infinite the universe, and the number of universes, are; speak for itself, the mathematical probability of another world exactly like ours existing somewhere, does. Though slim such chances are, much room for random occurrences the vastness allows. An exact copy of you, somewhere in existence there is. Evidence for parallel universes, quantum physics has provided.
 * What is a "parallel universe?"**

Designed, theories are, to make conclusions about what is to vast to comprehend. From scape jounreys and satilite inquires, gathered information is. Correlated this information is to extrapolite ideas and concepts. Concepts such as they, used to help further knowlegde on topics we find illusive and strange, they are. Time travel, infinate space, deja vu, the possibilties endless they are. To have a chance of solving even deeper mysteries, a grand theory that explains all functions of the universe we must have. The theory of parallel universes under M-theory has been gathered not from pure minds of men, but from observations in space. Black holes, anti-matter, such are the true features of the infinite universe that must be explained first before any solutions emerge. . Infinite, universes are. Make more universes, membranes do. So incomprehensibly immense the bulk of space is, and impossibly difficult to understand such vastness is. In your own solar system your world is. And in a galaxy, you solar system is then. Separated by immense expanses of space thousands of galaxies are. Surrounding these galaxies the membranes are, in an even larger expanse of space, "the bulk" it is called. When collide these membranes do, create new worlds and universes they do. For every action in the world, exists another universe in which the outcome is followed through.
 * What is the whole point of developing M-theory or any theory on the physics and function of space?**
 * And finally, Mr. Kaku, how is it that M-theory pertains to these parallel universes?**
