Alternate Earths
This list includes a partial but limited view of the variant alternate earths
out there. Terms suggesting divergent earths and parallel earths (such as "omniverse"
and "alterniverse") have been omitted to avoid confusion since any
parallel earth can turn out to be a divergent earth. These names are suggested
by various time-traveling and extra-temporal agencies. While some divergent
timelines are included, this list does not include all divergent earths, but
rather the most prominent and notorious alternate worlds in the so-called
"multiverse."
