A universe is born by the interaction of very high-energy membranes. These membranes permeate the higher dimensions and exist all around our universe; they are undulating like the waves in an ocean and lay together (for want of a better metaphor) like oil and water. These dimensions collide constantly. The collisions create bubbles of their own dimension of space and time. Like the foam that is made when the ocean water meets the land, universes are created in massive amounts like the individual bubbles in the foam. These “bubbles” if you will are whole universes, innumerable, they are born, live a life and then die out. I speculate that the energy of the collision dictates low large and long-lived a "universe" is. Just like in a particle accelerator, and as physical laws follow entropy, the higher energy the collision, the longer lived and larger size the resulting universe is.
The life span, shape and size of the universes created are directly proportional to the energy of the collision between interacting membranes. A collision happens and the energy is released into its own dimension, the new universe is born and expands into its own space, inflating like a bubble in a foam. Then there is a critical point where the “bubble” of the universe “bursts” and everything inside gets pulled out into the dimension the bubble bursts into. Maybe this can attribute to the fact that the universe seems to be accelerating its expansion.

The energy from the initial event is huge however, finite. Energy condenses to form mass. Quarks and leptons soup saturate the early universe but over time further condense to from stars and planets. Over time the newly created universe will age and cool off eventually becoming inert.
