The suggestion was that a positive energy proof for general relativity could be gotten by restricting supergravity to its bosonic sector, which is general relativity. Lee Smolin

Branes main In string theory and related theories such as supergravity theories, a brane is a physical object that generalizes the notion of a point particle to higher dimensions. Source: Internet

Cremmer, Julia, and Scherk 1978 Duff 1998, p. 65 Initially, many physicists hoped that by compactifying eleven-dimensional supergravity, it might be possible to construct realistic models of our four-dimensional world. Source: Internet

In 1987, Eric Bergshoeff, Ergin Sezgin, and Paul Townsend showed that eleven-dimensional supergravity includes two-dimensional branes. Source: Internet

Interest in eleven-dimensional supergravity soon waned as various flaws in this scheme were discovered. Source: Internet

In the 1970s, many physicists became interested in supergravity theories, which combine general relativity with supersymmetry. Source: Internet
