Before the Big Bang
Here's an article from Discover magazine that nicely explains superstring theory -- extending the concept to origin of the universe, contending that there wasn't necessarily a singularity where the universe began, but rather, our universe may have been the result of the collision of two other universes that exist in a space that has up to 10 spatial dimensions. This may be a cycle that repeats itself endlessly, birthing new universes regularly -- but because we can only perceive four dimensions, this theory will only remain a mathematical conjecture -- however, a conjecture that promises to unite macro predictions relativity with the subatomic predictions of quantum mechanics. It's a beautiful idea.
