dimensional travel
Crossing parallel worlds
Dimensional travel is movement between parallel universes, alternate realities, or different planes of existence—a staple concept in science fiction and fantasy.
Characters might use portals, machines, or magic to cross into worlds where history unfolded differently or physical laws vary: The comic book hero used dimensional travel to escape to a universe where the villain never existed.
Distinguished from time travel, which moves through the same reality's timeline.
