I'm curious to know what the people here think of when in terms of "alternate worlds." As an example of what I mean, in a number of books and shows, the main character is summoned by one way or another into a completely new realm. One that tends to be heavily based on fantasy and magic. A simple example would be "The never-ending story."

Do you guys think completely alternate realms like these exists? Places where magic is closer to a basis of life than just a taboo hobby.. Personally, I think it would be really cool to have such places, but I highly doubt anything of the sort really does exists. (Of course there is no real way of answering both until someone here whips up a teleportation spell of some sort! Ha.)
