The structure and physics of the cosmere are the same as our own, but the main story of the cosmere occurs on a compact dwarf galaxy, meaning it has many fewer stars and systems than our universe.{{17s ref|post|42426}} Time flows the same on the cosmere (except under special magical effects, such as [[Allomancy|Allomantic]] [[cadmium]] and [[bendalloy]]).{{ref|name=yalive}}
There are ten primary worlds in the cosmere, called [[Shardworld]]s, as the Shards of Adonalsium play major roles there.{{qa ref|718|8}} There are also minor worlds, where Shards have little influence, but may have lesser powers, like [[Splinter]]s on them.
The physical universe of the cosmere only tells one part of the story. In fact, there are [[Realmatic Theory|three Realms]] of existence:{{cite}} the Physical Realm, the Cognitive Realm, and the Spiritual Realm that all coexist simultaneously.
There are also other forces outside of things derived from Adonalsium. One is a force that opposes Adonalsium, which still exists{{qa ref|979|85|Before Adonalsium shattered, was it consciously opposed by something, be it people or another cosmic force? Is whatever opposed it still around?|date=Apr 15, 2013}}, and some say there are "subtle forces" being manifest, separate from Adonalsium.{{qa ref|836|44|There are those who would say there are other subtle forces being manifest|date=Sep 22nd, 2012}}{{cite}}

===Before the Shattering===
{{quote|Even now, I can barely grasp the scope of all this. The events surrounding the end of the world seem even larger than the Final Empire and the people within it.
Little is known of the extremely distant past of the cosmere: the time before the Shattering of Adonalsium and the Shards. It is not even clear who or what Adonalsium exactly is. Is it a god, the God? Is it a force, or person? Regardless,

{{quote|One need only look at the aftermath of his brief visit to Sel to see proof of what I say.
