The '''Physical Realm''' is the realm of existence in the [[cosmere]] that contains what is perceivable to the physical senses.{{tes ref|12}} Of the three [[Realmatic Theory|Realms]], it is the most readily understood, as it behaves in much the same way as our universe does.
 
Most of the [[Cosmere#Bibliography_of_the_Cosmere|cosmere stories]] so far take place almost exclusively in the Physical Realm. These stories are set on planets orbiting stars that are part of a small cluster within a dwarf galaxy.{{wob ref|1244}}{{17swob ref|post|28769711459}}
