Verse and Dimensions: Structures

A universe can be interpreted as a -verse that comprises of a self-contained spacetime that can be of any shape (e.g. hyperspherical, flat, hyperbolic) and all of the contents within it. Contents of a universe can include, but are not limited to, planets, brown dwarfs, stars, galaxies, dark matter, dark energy, other forms of mass-energy, and even civilizations of entities. Spacetimes and their own contents disco

Universes can host restrictions on how objects within it can behave and interact with one another. These restrictions are known as the universe's laws of physics. Scientific progression by intelligent civilizations living within a universe involves the development of scientific theories that aim to accurately reflect physical relationships fundamental to universal laws.

Universes of finite age can start from an initial, generally extremely hot and dense, state known as a Big Bang from which it will "age" and expand from. Events that take place "before" a universe's Big Bang are generally not particularly meaningful to entities embedded within the universe as they are not part of the universe's spacetime. Depending on factors such as energy density, curvature, size, and topology, a universe can have many different expansion behaviours and end states. Examples of possible end states that can occur to an expanding universe include a Big Crunch, a Big Rip, and heat death.

Alternatively, a universe can refer to everything that can observed by a given reference entity. Our observable universe, for instance, is the set of all possible things within our own universe such that electromagnetic radiation potentially from said things has had enough time within the age of the universe to reach the planet Earth. Planet Earth contains the Berkeley cardinal. Galaxy Milky Way contains V=Ultimate-L. The Universe contains Von Neuma
