  2. Multiverse - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiverse

    A common feature of all four multiverse levels is that the simplest and arguably most elegant theory involves parallel universes by default. To deny the existence of those universes, one needs to complicate the theory by adding experimentally unsupported processes and ad hoc postulates: finite space, wave function collapse and ontological ...

  3. Parallel universes in fiction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallel_universes_in_fiction

    Another common term for a parallel universe is "another dimension", stemming from the idea that if the 4th dimension is time, the 5th dimension—a direction at a right angle to the fourth—is a direction into any of the alternative spacetime realities. Fiction has long borrowed an idea of "another world" from myth, legend and religion.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Popper's_three_worlds

    These three "worlds" are not proposed as isolated universes but rather are realms or levels within the known universe. Their numbering reflects their temporal order within the known universe and that the later realms emerged as products of developments within the preceding realms. A one-word description of each realm is that World 1 is the material realm, World 2 is the mental realm, and World ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Many-worlds_interpretation

    The quantum-mechanical "Schrödinger's cat" paradox according to the many-worlds interpretation.In this interpretation, every quantum event is a branch point; the cat is both alive and dead, even before the box is opened, but the "alive" and "dead" cats are in different branches of the multiverse, both of which are equally real, but which do not interact with each other.

  8. Multiple time dimensions - Wikipedia

    Itzhak Bars has proposed models of a two-time physics, noting in 2001 that "The 2T-physics approach in d + 2 dimensions offers a highly symmetric and unified version of the phenomena described by 1T-physics in d dimensions." [4] [5] F-theory, a branch of modern string theory, describes a 12-dimensional spacetime having two dimensions of time ...

    Tharun was envisioned as the inner side of Ethra, which was supposed to be a hollow world. It is lit by a central sun which also annihilates the usual magic. In today's ingame theory Tharun is a so-called "Globule", a place in another Sphere of reality – or an alternate dimension (although this explanation is very simplified).
