Okay, so Brane cosmologies are proof of higher dimensions being superior right?
Because
"It seems that the whole universe, atoms and people and stars, is generated from the wriggling of a membrane floating in 11-dimensional space. One of those dimensions is collapsed down, rolled up to a tube, and the way the membrane wraps itself around that tube generates the properties of the particles and forces we see around us. This is the M-theory: the new theory of everything. The M, it seems, stands for 'membrane', but as far as I'm concerned it could equally be 'mirrors' as in 'smoke and'. They teach this stuff in the high schools now. Science has come a long way since I flunked geometry."
Now this is just 10-D since one of them is compact right? Well...
"It seems that old membrane can wrap itself up in two ways. A single loop generates energy levels from modes of vibration, like a violin string. Or the membrane can wind itself around the tube many times, and the number of turns gives you energy levels, like coils around an armature. One wrapping mode describes the large-scale structure of the universe. The other mode describes small-scale energy structures, such as those of an electron. But here's the catch: when the tube is middle-sized, the vibration modes look the same as the wrapping modes. That means that the universe on very small scales looks the same as it does on large scales. This is called duality. For instance, electron charge by one description is equivalent to the size of things in another."
Tho weren't they supposed to lose the High 1-B durability
