World
The world is the totality of entities, the whole of reality, or everything that Existence, exists. The nature of the world has been conceptualized differently in different fields. Some conceptions see the world as unique, while others talk of a "plurality of worlds". Some treat the world as #Monism and pluralism, one simple object, while others analyze the world as a complex made up of parts. In #Scientific cosmology, scientific cosmology, the world or universe is commonly defined as "the totality of all space and time; all that is, has been, and will be". #Theories of modality, Theories of modality talk of possible worlds as complete and consistent ways how things could have been. #Phenomenology, Phenomenology, starting from the horizon of co-given objects present in the periphery of every experience, defines the world as the biggest horizon, or the "horizon of all horizons".

Worlds (novel)
''Worlds'' is a novel written by Joe Haldeman and published in 1981. Plot summary ''Worlds'' is a novel in which Marianne O'Hara takes an educational trip from New New York in orbit to visit the surface of old Earth, and a worldwide terrorist plot almost kills everyone. Reception Colin Greenland reviewed ''Worlds'' for '' Imagine'' magazine, and stated that "It feels perverse to say that a series about the near extinction of the human race seems uneventful, but somehow it does. The futuristic detail is fascinating, but Haldeman relates it in a casual, rambling way that dilutes much of its drama."

Worlds (Porter Robinson Album)
''Worlds'' is the debut studio album by the American electronic music producer Porter Robinson, released on August 12, 2014, by Astralwerks. Initially known for his heavier bass-centric production, Robinson became increasingly dissatisfied with the electronic dance music (EDM) genre, believing it limited his artistic expression. In 2012, Robinson released his first song with a greater emphasis on melody, "Language (Porter Robinson song), Language", and decided thereafter to prioritize aesthetic and emotional qualities in his work. He was inspired by media that evoked nostalgia for his childhood, and wrote music integrating elements taken from anime, films, and sounds from 1990s video games. Robinson's primary inspirations for ''Worlds'' were Daft Punk's ''Discovery (Daft Punk album), Discovery'' (2001) and Kanye West's ''Graduation (album), Graduation'' (2007). Critics described the work as electropop, noting similarities to the styles of M83 (band), M83 and Passion Pit. In late ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
World Championship
A world championship is generally an international competition open to elite competitors from around the world, representing their nations, and winning such an event will be considered the highest or near highest achievement in the sport, game, or ability. How the championship title is assigned The title is usually awarded through a combination of specific contests or, less commonly, ranking systems (e.g. the ICC Test Championship), or a combination of the two (e.g. World Triathlon Championships in Triathlon). This determines a 'world champion', who or which is commonly considered the best nation, team, individual (or other entity) in the world in a particular field, although the vagaries of sport ensure that the competitor recognised at the best in an event is not always the 'world champion' (see Underdog). This may also be known as a world cup competition, for example cycling ( UCI World Championships and UCI World Cups). Often, the use of the term cup or championship i ...
