Cosmology and String Theory Recent Developments: Brane Cosmology Scenarios About ten years ago, at the end of the last century, we witnessed the appearance of two new players on the scene of physical and astronomical science. We are just beginning to appreciate their dramatic impact upon basic cosmology, and we are probably far from a … Read more

Cosmology and String Theory Recent Developments: Brane Cosmology Scenarios In contrast, in the strong coupling regime, higher-dimensional branes become light and can be produced copiously, driving the Universe to a phase of brane-domination, typical of M-theory. Such a phase, triggered by the growth of the coupling predicted in the context of pre-Big-Bang models, could be … Read more
