Cosmology
Branes are multidimensional objects that arise in string theory and related models, where our universe can be envisioned as a three-dimensional brane embedded in a higher-dimensional space. They play a crucial role in cyclic and ekpyrotic models by providing a framework for understanding how the universe can undergo cycles of expansion and contraction, potentially explaining phenomena such as the Big Bang and cosmic evolution.
congrats on reading the definition of Branes. now let's actually learn it.
