A popular physics explanation of the ekpyrotic model of universe creation
The purpose of this workshop will be to offer the opportunity to discuss issues such as the connection with M-theory and cosmological perturbations in the ekpyrotic scenario.
An informal introduction to the models of the universe which use higher dimension branes.
This lecture presents the cosmological models with extra dimensions that have been recently elaborated, which assume that ordinary matter is confined on a surface, called brane, embedded in a higher dimensional spacetime.
A scientific american article on the brane-world models of the Universe
An article from Sky & Telescope on the ekpyrotic universe model.
Extra spatial dimensions--beyond the three we know--might exist, while being invisible to most experiments.
The aim of these lectures is to give a brief introduction to brane cosmology
A lecture on colliding branes and the origin of the hot big bang by Paul Steinhardt
A one page article on the search for evidence of higher dimensions.
