String Theory

[mead1]

I have seen a bunch of documentaries on this and I can sum it up like this:

The smallest pieces of matter are atoms, these are made up of strings that are infinitesmally small and their vibration fluctuates atoms creating different matter. It also states that there are two types of strings, those with two ends, and those in a closed circle. The theory states that the closed circles can expand infinately in any of the 11 dimensions the strings exist in. Therefor, the theory states our universe exists upon a membrane formed by a string the size of many universi. The string theory also explains the formation of the universe as a small ball of matter caught between the bumping of two membranes larger than a universe, the resulting force caused it to expand into our universe. It also theorizes that this could potentially happen an infinite number of times, so this universe and every other are something like a sliced loaf of bread.

Now this hurts my head immensley, if someone understands it a little better, I would appreciate it if they could explain it to me. For the rest of you, Look this up, its interesting.
