why is there an D-brane and brane article? we should probably combine them. H0riz0n 12:10, 3 May 2006 (UTC). I went ahead and did the combining... I will let some admin do the rest. H0riz0n 12:30, 3 May 2006 (UTC)... Bah... I went ahead and did it figured it could be reverted H0riz0n 12:36, 3 May 2006 (UTC) I have added Braneworld Cosmology... but im thinking maybe it should be left separate... opinions? H0riz0n 12:41, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

I think the merger was a bad idea, and at least should have been discussed first. D-branes are a specialized enough topic that they need their own article, as does braneworld cosmology. -- Fropuff 20:08, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

I am reverting this. This was a huge change that turned multiple decent articles into a confused mess. H0riz0n, please don't make such edits without discussing them first, and without having a good understanding of the subject. --Constantine Evans 05:53, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

Why is it that this article is written in such cryptic terms? Shouldn't it be explained in more general terms to be more available to the public? And why doesn't it mention how the notion of there existing "branes" come about in the first place?

Can the gap be cleaned up? Jackiespeel 17:38, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

And the evidence for all of this is....zero. The evidence for superstrings is....zero. The evidence for other dimensions is....zero. This is just an unproven speculation and is not science at all. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 202.57.179.230 (talk • contribs).

What's your point? --Closedmouth 07:40, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

Evidence for complex numbers...zero! Effect on importance of their study?...zero! Reductio ad absurdum. --Lionelbrits 23:12, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

This article is tremendously cryptic for the general public. It needs to be completely cleaned up and rewritten. BradNeuberg
