Here's my question.

If (as Lisa Randall [Goddess-Harvard Physics] has suggested, see her book Warped Passages)--there are extra hidden dimensions;
and those dimensions may be on the order of 10-33 cm, but possibly much larger;
and there may be 'branes' connecting portions of reality with additional dimensions which are closed to us;

How do these extra dimensions relate to the Big Bang and the Higgs boson? How would the other dimensions and the associated branes be affected by inflation?

Well over my current state of reading.

The questions themselves may be meaningless, or indicative of *profound* misunderstandings on my part.

Cheers!

‘Debris from the U.S. intercept of a spy satellite in February and from China’s anti-satellite test in Janaury 2007 is still orbiting Earth’

Don’t have time to worry about quantum mechanics right now when space junk refuses to be cooperative.
