Physics teacher here.
Doniston, you might want to do some fact-checking with modern science. You seem to be mixing up a lot of basic terminology (protons vs positrons), using terminology that is years out of date (I had to look up 'negatrons'...) and mixing up a lot of ideas - for example, string theory is a mathematical hypothesis with zero supporting empirical evidence which, while it does propose multiple dimensions, in no way proposes other universes that you could see with a telescope.
It's great to see people with an interest in science, but less heartening when they insist that their misconceptions are accurate.
EDIT: Also, having the chance to finally agree with paleocon on anything whatsoever is giving me a happy
