Morgul:
Well, ok, it can be called the 5th dimension, or w/e. I'm none to particular.
Caenus:
You'll be shocked how much of the foam you can fit into the precursors universe (whoa, that sounds bad). It's a fascinating subject. If you want a quick and dirty look at what it is, read Michael Crichton's Timeline (not my source, but definitely a nice intro for a novice) and then extrapolate your own theories.

Read it. Twice. I've got it in hardcover. Mmmmmm, Mmmmmm, Good. Even my (ex) girlfriend liked it.. and she hates physics and sci-fi. Heh, go figure.
Another could good sources that touch on the subject are: A Brief History of Time (by Steven Hawkings, of course), About Time (by Paul Davies), and Hyperspace (by Michio Kaku). While I'm recomending books, also take a look at The Extravagent Universe (by Robert P. Kirshner). It touches on most of the concepts in A Brief History of Time, but in a much more transpearant way. It also touches on elemesnt of the other books. It's a damned good read.
None of those really bother to explain quantum foam, and most don't even reference it as such. However, they all touch on the subject, and on multidimensional space, and have all served as part of the basis for my ideas. (Specifically Hyperspace and About Time.)
Also, if you're a Star Trek fan, I recomend The Physics of Star Trek (by Lawrence M. Krauss). Appearantly there is a sequal called Beyond Star Trek, but I've never read it. (The preview off Amazon looks good, though.)

Caenus:
The sequel is great. You might also look at "The Metaphysics of Star Trek" Takes you even FURTHER in depth.
Morgul:
I'm gunna have to go buy some books, it looks like.
