"The Hidden Brane [sic]" is a great radio show.
Picture two planes rotating about two independent (and probably also rotating) axes. Where the two planes intersect you have a line. If there is any substantiality to those planes there will be a little resistance at that line to the motion of those planes. Think of it as similar to the resistance of a net crossing a stream.
As these planes move in space independently of each other they always intersect, and that line of intersection moves around all over the place. Let's call that line a little one-dimensional universe.
I said the planes always intersect, but that's not true. On very rare occasions the planes line up parallel. Despite the fact that the little one-dimensional universe is infinite along its dimension, all of a sudden it ceases to exist. And in an infinitesimally small moment after that little universe puffs out of existence, in a different location, another infinite little universe immediately pops into existence. This new universe went from nothing to infinite in an instant. This new universe is very consistent in its resistance throughout its entire length; at least it is initially. However, over time, that resistance starts to coagulate into lumps of vibrating planer material. Those vibrating lumps exert slightly more resistance than the spaces between them and they start actually bending slightly the line of intersection creating little gravity wells. At some point the continuity is compromised and some of these vibrational lumps come in contact with each other and begin to form clumps. The larger the clumps get, the more resistance they exert against the flow of the rotating planes creating deeper and deeper wells that push more and more of these clumps towards each other. Some of these clumps may get so big that they cannot resist the flow and like water droplets on a pool of oil they eventually break the surface and are lost forever to the miasmic flow of the rotating planes.
Now when those two planes whacked into each other after their moment of parallelism, that line of intersection became observable because the resistance between the two planes at that line created vibrations in that planer material. These vibrations were identical and ubiquitous along the whole definition of this universe. These vibrations would also slowly deteriorate over time as the planer material got more comfortable with the concept of intersection. It's kind of like how if you drop a section of hurricane fence flat-wise onto the surface of a pool you at first get a lot of tiny splashing as the water and the steel meet for the first time. As they get used to each other's presence though the fence continues on its way through the water, still resisted, but less so as it continues sink.
These vibrations, ever-diminishing at a steady rate, clumping up into stuff, eventually form into little one-dimensional people. Those people, steadily getting smaller, start observing the infinite universe in which they exist. They see everything getting smaller at the same rate that they are which results in the distance between everything getting wider (nuclear and electro-magnetic forces keep objects tightly concentrated). It looks to them like everything in both directions is slowly pulling away from them. This perception is compounded by the fact that all their local measuring tools are getting smaller as well. a space that would have been measured as an inch a while ago, now measures a foot using the same ruler. Also light that would have been blue when it was emitted back then now appears red because the ruler measuring the unchanging wave length is smaller than it was when the light was emitted. Unable to imagine themselves and everything else shrinking, they just assumed that their universe was expanding, like marks on a rubber band being stretched.
I hope you've all enjoyed my story of the little one-dimensional universe. Sometimes I wonder if it might work if I scaled it up two dimensions: you know, a three dimensional universe formed by the intersection of two four-dimensional branes rotating about moving axes within a five-dimensional whatever-you-call-a-five-dimensional-void-like-thing. Like so much speculation, I guess we'll never know.

Hi, idiot who knows nothing here (I'm describing me, not Mr. Scott). So what do I see in the Big Bang? I see mostly the ekpyrotic model. Let me introduce you to my dementia.
Imagine two lines within a plane. If you rotate those lines about separate points the point of intersection moves along those lines at varying speeds. Eventually that point of intersection flies off into infinite as the lines move towards parallelism. At the instant that point of intersection disappears into nonexistence another point pops into existence at the other end of infinite and moves to a finite point an infinite distance away from its origin all but instantaneously.
Let's take that up a dimension. We now have two planes in space. They're rotating about non-intersecting axes and they are forming a line of intersection that moves within the planes. Let's say that there is a slight resistance between the planes at that moving line of intersection. When those planes rotate into parallelism and a fresh line of intersection is formed at the infinite edge the resistance along that line is even, smooth and ever-present. As that line moves from infinite to a finite location the resistance is almost infinitely intense. And while it's still strong when its nature becomes finite, it's much weaker.
So we have our rotating planes with a moving line of intersection then periodically fades out of existence at one end of infinitely only to be slammed back into existence at the other end. You're probably picturing parallel axes which leads to frequent cycles of parallelism between the planes even if they're not rotating at the same rate. But if we postulate moving axes, or independently rotating axes then the instances of parallelism become much less frequent.
Let's take it up one more dimension. Now we have two three dimensional infinite-spaces rotating about two independently moving planes within a four-dimensional membrane with a plane of intersection that periodically fades out of existence at one edge of infinite and immediately pops into existence at the other with a violent yet smooth and ever-present energy of resistance that mellows out substantially the moment it reaches a finite space. Yeah I can't really picture it either, but its occurrences of parallelism should be much less frequent. Let's take it up one more dimension.
Okay, we now have two branes, each infinite in scope in four spatial(membranous?) directions. Each of these branes is rotating in fifth-dimensional whatever-the-hell-you-call-it about two non-static, non-parallel infinite-geometrical-spaces with an infinite-geometrical-space of intersection that periodically fades out of existence at one edge of infinite and bangs into existence at the other edge of infinite. In that space resistance (in the form of vibrations of membrane material which we can measure as mass) is infinite for the moment that space moves from the edge of infinite to a finite location after which it is still everywhere but no longer infinite. As the branes continue to flow through each other the material becomes acclimated and the vibrations begin to settle. Either inconsistencies in the membranous materials themselves or quantum properties of the vibrations lead to clumping. Some of the more massive clumps rip through the space of intersection and are lost to the flow of the moving membranes down a fourth dimension. The remaining clumps of vibrations warp the space slightly in the direction of the membranous flow which has the tangential effect of moving those clumps towards each other (gravity).
Because the resistant vibrations are settling at a steady rate across the space, the objects made up of these vibrations are shrinking. This gives the illusion from the perspective of these shrinking objects that the space between these objects is expanding. This illusion is perpetrated by one of the quantum characteristics of radiation particles. Ejected particles have the uncanny ability to be in multiple possible locations until identified at which point their probability peaks into a certainty at location 0 relative to its identifier. They also, I think, has the uncanny ability to travel at multiple velocities until identified at which point their probability peaks into a certainty at c relative to its identifier. Because the occupants of this space are unaware of this property they assume light always travels at the same speed and engage in all kinds of paradoxical space and time corrupting explanations for why light emitted from a fast-moving object never-the-less always appears to them at that consistent velocity, but I digress.
Anyway, I do think our universe is a result of four-dimensional membranes periodically whacking into each other. But I don't think they're moving back and forth on each other, I think they're running through each other and this is because of their rotation. I told you I was nuts.
