Universe Types

This page provides an overview of various universe types, ranging from the smallest known scale to the largest hypothetical structures. The following table presents these concepts in order of increasing size and complexity, including SI prefixes and extended -verse objects.

Visual Representation Name Size Description
Universe 93 billion light-years (observable) The totality of space, time, matter, and energy as we know it. Our observable universe is estimated to be about 93 billion light-years in diameter.
Artistic representation of a miniverse, showing a tiny universe contained within a larger structure, digital illustration Miniverse 10^-6 of Universe size A hypothetical universe that is significantly smaller than our own, possibly existing at microscopic scales.
Conceptual image of a microverse, depicting a complex structure at a microscopic scale, digital art Microverse 10^-9 of Universe size An even smaller hypothetical universe, existing at scales comparable to microorganisms.
Abstract representation of a nanoverse, showing intricate patterns at nanoscale, scientific visualization Nanoverse 10^-12 of Universe size A universe existing at the nanoscale, potentially interacting with quantum phenomena.
Multiverse 10^3 Universes A hypothetical group of multiple universes, including our own. Each universe within the multiverse is sometimes called a "parallel universe".
Conceptual image of a kiloverse, showing a thousand interconnected universes, digital artwork Kiloverse 10^3 Multiverses A collection of a thousand multiverses, representing a significant increase in scale and complexity.
Abstract visualization of a megaverse, depicting millions of interlinked realities, computer-generated image Megaverse 10^6 Multiverses A hypothetical level above the multiverse, potentially containing a million multiverses with different physical laws or structures.
Artistic interpretation of a gigaverse, showing billions of diverse reality structures, digital painting Gigaverse 10^9 Multiverses An enormous collection of multiverses, representing billions of different reality systems.
Complex representation of a teraverse, illustrating trillions of interconnected multiversal structures, 3D render Teraverse 10^12 Multiverses A vast expanse containing trillions of multiverses, each potentially with its own set of physical laws and constants.
Surreal depiction of a xenoverse, showing realities with alien concepts and geometries, digital surrealism Xenoverse 10^15 Multiverses A speculative concept representing a level beyond the teraverse, potentially including realities with fundamentally different concepts of existence or dimensionality.
Omniverse 10^18 Multiverses The hypothetical set of all possible universes, multiverses, and realities, encompassing all possible forms of existence within a vast but finite structure.

Note: The concepts presented in this table, particularly those beyond the observable universe, are highly speculative and not part of mainstream scientific theories. They are often used in science fiction, philosophy, and thought experiments to explore the nature of reality and existence. The sizes given for structures larger than our universe are purely hypothetical and used for illustrative purposes only.
