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 onin the cosmere (except under special magical effects, such as [[Allomancy|Allomantic]] [[cadmium]] and [[bendalloy]]).{{ref|name=yalive}}
 
There are ten primary worldsplanets in the cosmere, sometimes called [[Shardworld]]s, as the [[Shard|Shards of Adonalsium]] play major roles there.{{qa ref|718|8}} There are also minorinhabited worlds, wherewith no Shards haveon little influencethem, butand maysome haveplanets lessermay powers,only likehave [[Splinter]]s of a Shard on them.{{qa Magicref|718|8}} onPlanets thesewithout planetsShards are generally referred to "minor Shardworlds". On all cosmere planets, magic is called Investiture, a word that means something has gained a portion of Adonalsium's magic.{{qa ref|1086|3|What you can tell me about Investiture?|date=Mar 4th, 2014}} All magic we've seen has been derived from the Shard's--or Adonalsium's--power.{{qa ref|979|160|Are there any magic systems in the cosmere that aren't shard based?|date=Apr 15th 2013}} Specific magic systems, like [[Allomancy]] or [[Surgebinding]], are termed "manifestations of Investiture."{{book ref|mb4|part=ars}}
 
The physical universe of the cosmere only tells one part of the story. In fact, there are [[Realmatic Theory|three Realms]] of existence: the Physical Realm, the Cognitive Realm, and the Spiritual Realm that all coexist simultaneously, and everything has aspects in each of these Realms.{{book ref|tes|day|12}} Even planets themselves have souls.{{qa ref|979|17|Do cosmere planets have a soul?|date=Apr 15th, 2013}} Investiture transcends all three of these Realms.{{qa ref|1069|3|What is the Realmatic composition of Investiture?|date=Mar 11th 2014}} There is also something beyond the Three Realms, where people "pass on," which Shards can potentially touch,{{qa ref|428|10|Where Tindwyl exists is beyond space and time, in a place Sazed hasn't learned to touch yet.
