As they allow asking of "What if?" Questions, Alternate Universes are common themes in the genres of Science Fiction and Alternate History
- In Star Trek, there exists an Alternate Universe in which Earth based civilization, instead of evolving into the Federation, evolved into the Terran Empire
- In Stargate, Several Alternate Universes exist, among them several in which Earth has been conquered by the Goa'uld
- The TV series Sliders focuses upon a group of individuals with the copacity to travel from universe to universe
