I was watching 'Parallel Universes' on the Science Channel and I have a question.
They said that big bangs possibly happen all the time, and according the m-theory, they are caused by two parallel universes coliding. What happens to those two parallel universes? Do they continue to exist?
Also, if two parallel universes are required to create a big bang, where did the first two come from?

I watched the same, although i was drinking quite a bit of brandy at the time. My understanding what that they do indeed continue to exist, otherwise the number of universes is becoming exponentially smaller.
As for the second question, that's kind of the point of what they were saying in the show... based on m-theory, they can now see beyond THIS universe's big bang which results in a brand new set of questions... who's the maker's maker?

Dont buy into this.
Its just a math model, and 'bubbles of Universes' basically did it for me. I dont believe in multiverse, and there is no physicist on the planet today that has any experimental proof to convience me otherwise

I don't have a good answer for you, sorry. All I can tell you is that many physicists are beginning to give weight to the notion that gravity in our universe is energy in a parallel universe, and vice versa. This can be thought of as a result of some kind of membrane between these adjacent universes that has the property of filtering these 2 forces. To put things in perspective, the Electromagnetic force (aka. light) is 10 to the power of 36 times stronger than the force of gravity in our Universe. So that membrane filter thingy must be one huge metaphorical pole reversing magnet.
