alternate dimensions
Parallel universe concept
Alternate dimensions are hypothetical realities existing parallel to our own, often with different physical laws, histories, or versions of familiar people.
The concept appears in physics (as in multiverse theory) and pervades science fiction, where characters travel between worlds: In that alternate dimension, the Nazis won the war.
