M-Theory is a bit too much hocus pokus for my tastes. Many of the suggestions found in it's mathematics are exciting and fantastical, but I questions
it's value at this point in our scientific evolution.
I feel that the structure of the universe and indeed the "mega-verse" (that which is beyond) is likely to be visible and otherwise measurable, thus
comprehensible to the current human mind. I would like to see us take an approach to our theoretical research that goes a few steps short of an
attempt to grasp the complexity of extra dimensional space and time and simply seeks to evolve our view and understanding of the space and time in
which we directly, detectably, exist.
The mathematical concept of fractal dimensions is the, I believe, the fundamental basis for the extension of our knowledge at this point. It is a
logical extrapolation of knowledge to assume that our 3 dimensional universe is structured in a functionally similar manner as a super cluster,
galaxy, solar system, planetary system and finally (so far) an atom.
This view would suggest that there are other universes around us, existing in the same medium. With sufficient technological expertise we may even
travel to them one day, just as we may learn to travel to other stars or even galaxies just as we have learned to travel to other planets and
moons.
Somewhere along the line we will need to explore extra dimensional space and time, but I feel that at our current level of development we are reaching
too far. It all starts to feel like a mythical legend when you look at the oddities of M theory.
