I was in the midst of my formative years at the time of the Challenger disaster and now, some 29 years later still think of the expansion of the acronym we cruelly joked about.

Need Another Seven Astronauts.

If you've not seen it, Prof Brian Greene does an excellent video on string theory, M-theory and the implications. M-THEORY & STRING THEORY (Explained) - YouTube
Of particular interest was the assertion that if given enough energy, a string can expand to a limitless size and can even form a surface or membrane, oft referred to as a brane. The "Big Bang" is postulated as being a result of the collision of two such branes - our universe resides on one of them and we are said to never have the ability to directly observe any others - though we may observe signs of their influence.

PBS Space Time is another fascinating youtube channel. The concepts and mathematics alone are enough to make a grown man weep.
