Exactly Where is Our Universe?

In summary, there is a theory that the Big Bang was triggered by two branes touching within The Bulk. However, the concept of a multiverse is highly speculative and lacks evidence, so it is impossible to say where our universe stands in relation to the branes or if there is any connection at all. The mathematical model that discusses a possible 10^500 universes may provide some insight, but there is currently no concrete evidence to support it.

One of the theories of for the origin of the Big Bang is that within The Bulk two branes touched, setting off the Big Bang. Where does that leave our universe or multiverse of which we are one of the 10^500?

Are we contained in one of the branes while another wholly separate universe or multiverse is perhaps within the other brane?

Or is our universe/multiverse now existing between the two branes and not a part of either? Or is there a connection to one or both branes?

Unfortunately, multiverse theories are horribly speculative and completely lacking in any kind of evidence at this time, so the only thing anyone can say is that we simply don't know. The only evidence we have at this time is of just one universe. However, if you are asking about the mathematical model you are talking about, that may answer your questions, but unfortunately I've never looked into any multiverse theories very hard, so the one you are talking about is not familiar to me.
 

1. What is the current scientific explanation for the location of our universe?

According to the Big Bang theory, our universe originated from a single point and has been expanding ever since. It is currently estimated to be approximately 93 billion light-years in diameter.

2. Is our universe the only one in existence?

While this is still a topic of debate among scientists, the multiverse theory suggests that there may be multiple universes beyond our own, each with their own set of physical laws and properties.

3. How do we know the shape of our universe?

Scientists have been able to determine the shape of our universe through various observations and calculations. The most widely accepted shape is that of a flat universe, where parallel lines never meet and the angles of a triangle add up to 180 degrees.

4. Where is the center of our universe?

Contrary to popular belief, there is no specific point in the universe that can be considered the center. This is because the universe is expanding uniformly in all directions, making every point seem like the center.

5. Can we ever know the exact location of our universe?

Since our universe is constantly expanding and there is no edge or boundary, it is impossible to determine its exact location. However, scientists continue to study and explore the universe in hopes of uncovering more about its vastness and mysteries.
