M-Theory or Membrane theory abstracts that reality (in all its 10 dimensional glory), exists on (shorthand) branes - and there can be alot of them. Each has its own rules of physics and physical constants. Our entire Universe is one.
Occassionally branes can interact to form a new brane. A discernible amount of energy may be released - think big bang. Interactions don't have to be cataclysmic (a whole two branes come into resonance aand create a new brane). Virtual particles could be a particles from one brane tunneling into ours for a while before returning. Heinsenberg is definitely on the cards here. It looks like his probablity law (for a finite time in a finite location you can break any law of physics with a finite probabilty - often used in wave mechanics to describe how waves work) is turning out to be the most involate law in physics - firmer even than relativity.
