Of the three Realms, the '''Physical Realm''' is the most readily understood as it behaves in much the same way that our universe does.{{wob ref|1244}} It is the natural world as we experience it with our senses, consisting of space and time and adhering to empirical scientific law.{{tes ref|12}} Unlike the Cognitive Realm, the Physical Realm is a three-dimensional plane.{{wob ref|1538}} The two Realms are not mapped perfectly to each other for this reason.{{wob ref|13234}} The cosmere is a single star cluster within the Physical Realm consisting of between fifty and one hundred stars,{{wob ref|9284}} though at least one person has tried to travel beyond that.{{wob ref|13336}} Travel between planets within the cluster can be achieved without using either of the other Realms through purely Physical FTL (faster-than-light) travel, and various civilizations have developed such Physical Realm interstellar travel, through unknown means.{{book ref|tress|60}}{{book ref|sotd}}{{wob ref|13061}}

Investiture within the Physical Realm will manifest as a solid, liquid, or gas.{{wob ref|13327}} Solid Investiture in the Physical Realm is metallic.{{book ref|sa2.5|20}}{{wob ref|9291}} Pushing the entirety of a Shard’s Investiture into the Physical Realm would have disastrous effects.{{wob ref|13327}} Changes in the Spiritual Realm filter down to and cause changes in the Physical Realm.{{wob ref|13327}} Perception has a part in those Physical changes.{{wob ref|6501}} After a person dies, they need a continued tie to the Physical Realm to prevent passing to the [[Beyond]] after death.{{wob ref|6085}} Someone with such a tie could become a [[Cognitive Shadow]].{{wob ref|8836}}
