  • Then the modes of one type of string are compatible with the vibrations on the p-brane, and since these are compatible with vibrations of another string type these p-branes define S or T duality relationships between strings.

  • Do Germany, Argentina, and the United States lag behind in theoretical physics because standard German, Spanish, and English don't have words for "p-brane"?

  • However, a belief in M-theory automatically begs the acceptance of Parallel Universes as each p-brane is a "universe" onto itself.
