</translate>

<translate><!--T:4--> Nobody knows whether there are intelligent beings on other worlds.</translate>
<translate><!--T:5--> There are about one septillion (10<sup>24</sup>) worlds in the universe.</translate>

== World literature == <!--T:9-->
</translate>
<translate><!--T:10--> World literature is literature that is read by many people all over our world.</translate>
<translate><!--T:11--> World literature is different from national literature.</translate>

<blockquote>
<translate><!--T:12--> I am more and more convinced that poetry is the universal possession of mankind, revealing itself everywhere and at all times in hundreds and hundreds of men. . . .</translate>
<translate><!--T:13--> I therefore like to look about me in foreign nations, and advise everyone to do the same.</translate>
<translate><!--T:14--> National literature is now a rather unmeaning term; the epoch of world literature is at hand.</translate> –
<translate><!--T:15--> Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, 1827</translate>

<translate><!--T:19--> Creating a different world is a literary device used by authors to illustrate ideas.</translate>
<translate><!--T:20--> By placing the story in the setting of a different world, the author can change the way that things happen.</translate>
<translate><!--T:21--> For example, the author might imagine a world that has very little water or a world that has very little dry land.</translate>
<translate><!--T:22--> Deciding what a world looks like and how the world works is called ''world-building''.</translate>
<translate><!--T:23--> Thinking about their world helps the author make good choices about what happens to the characters in the story.</translate>
<translate><!--T:24--> Some authors think about many details, such as what [[<tvar name=langs>Special:MyLanguage/languages</tvar>|languages]] the characters speak and what the [[<tvar name=arch>Special:MyLanguage/architecture</tvar>|architecture]] is on the world.</translate>

=== Worlds in science fiction === <!--T:25-->
</translate>
<translate><!--T:26--> Science fiction stories often use different worlds.</translate>
<translate><!--T:27--> Frank Herbert's famous ''Dune'' series focused on a world called Arrakis, which produced a very rare and very important spice.</translate>

<translate><!--T:30--> Asimov wrote the first books in the 1950s.</translate>
<translate><!--T:31--> In 1982, he published another book, called ''Foundation's Edge'' (<tvar name=1>ISBN 0385177259</tvar>).</translate>
<translate><!--T:32--> The Star Wars movies had a several important worlds, and characters traveled between them.</translate>
<translate><!--T:33--> Some authors of science fiction worlds try to make them scrupulously obey the laws of physics.</translate>

<translate>
=== Fantasy worlds === <!--T:34-->
</translate>
<translate><!--T:35--> Fantasy worlds are fictional worlds that use magic.</translate>
<translate><!--T:36--> This magic may involve saying [[<tvar name=magic>Special:MyLanguage/magic words</tvar>|magic words]], using magical objects, or performing [[<tvar name=backup>Special:MyLanguage/backup</tvar>|magical rituals]].</translate>

== Languages in the world == <!--T:68-->
</translate>
<translate><!--T:69--> The Egyptians used pictures to write their language.</translate>
<translate><!--T:70--> The pictures are called hieroglyphics.</translate>
<translate><!--T:71--> This is what they look like:</translate>
<!-- Hieroglyphics are shown as PNG images on wiki.  Not all wikis support hieroglyphics. -->

The organisation counts the number of people with health problems. These health problems include influenza, HIV infection, and depression. It also counts the number of people who have other problems, such as dirty water, hunger, and violence.

<!--T:87-->
This poem by John Donne mentions the world:
</translate>

<poem>
<translate><!--T:88-->
Her death hath taught us dearly that thou art
Corrupt and mortal in thy purest part.
Let no man say, the world itself being dead,
'Tis labour lost to have discovered
The world's infirmities, since there is none
Alive to study this dissection;
For there's a kind of world remaining still,
Though she which did inanimate and fill
The world, be gone...</translate>

== Shape of our world == <!--T:90-->

<!--T:91-->
Our world is not a perfect sphere. It is slightly flattened. 

<!--T:92-->
The mathematical formula for measuring the flatness of a sphere is
</translate>

<math display="block">\begin{align}
 f&=\frac{a-b}{a}.
\end{align}
</math>

<translate>
<!--T:149-->
For our world, <tvar name=f><math display="inline">f\,\!</math></tvar> is approximately 0.3%. The Moon is rounder. For the Moon, <tvar name=f><math display="inline">f\,\!</math></tvar> is approximately 0.1%. Jupiter is flatter. For Jupiter, <tvar name=f><math display="inline">f\,\!</math></tvar> is approximately 6.5%.
